I'm impressed we have a doctor in the house. After the strings were cut, the foreign body sensation did improve but I feel the equivalent of a 1cm protrusion about the thickness of a nail. It doesn't hurt and has a dull sensation, I just know it's there. The GYN said the placement was fine but I guess it should be looked at again. I have zero knowledge about was is normal with the IUD. And get this, blue cross wouldn't pay for the IUD but would cover a much more costly tubal ligation. My wife didn't want surgery so we paid out of pocket for the IUD.
This doesn't feel like strings. It is plastic like. I'll crap my pants if the lady gets pregnant again.
