"i have had mirena since december. initially there was some discomfort for the first week or so but since then i haven&#039;t noticed it once. my boyfriend has felt the string a couple times but nothing major. 95% of the time we have sex he doesn&#039;t notice it and neither do i. what i like best about it, besides not having to take the pill everyday, is that i only have my period every other month if that. i definitely would recommend it if you hate taking the pill and aren&#039;t thinking about having kids anytime soon. luckily my mirena was free through the local health center. definitely worth it!"
