A member asked:
I've had my mirena (levonorgestrel) 4 years now when me and my boyfriend have sex he says my strings are poking him and hurts is that a bad thing?

Yes: If it hurts it's not a good thing. Sex shouldn't be painful. Visit your doctor and have him check position of iud and trim strings if necessary.

It's Bad for him! : I'm curious if you're suddenly having any pain or cramping with sex or at any other time. If he didn't notice the strings before and is now, it may mean that your iud moved. The strings were cut too short originally. As long as you can feel the string most likely you are fine, the check a urine pregnancy test and see your provider.
