After 1 year of my wife having hers it has not gotten any better. It still pokes me in the head. It is a small gauge copper not string (not sure if all types are the same. She finally went to the doctor last week to have it removed for me but for her as well since her cycles have not been the same since the last baby 1.5 years ago. The doc suggested trimming the wire by 1/2" to see if that helped and put her on the pill to fix the regularity issues.

Have not been able to try it out yet since her cycle started that night. Should be back in business tonight or tomorrow. I think it needs more than 1/2" trim but we will see. I think that is about as short as they can make it and still have something to grab onto if/when it is removed.

You are not alone.
