I have had MIRENA for about two months now. Not real sure about i...

The strings can be trimmed shorter so he won't feel them.

I was told when I had mine put in that the "strings", which are actually 2 thin gauge wire would curl around my cervix when they were softened by being in my body for awhile.

I guess I just wondered why this thin gauge wire took so long to "soften" when it is in a warm and moist part of the body.
