Will my partner or I be able to feel the Paragard IUD during sex?



Since Paragard is placed in the uterus, not in the vagina, you and your partner should not be able to feel Paragard during sex. Sometimes your partner may feel the threads. If this occurs, or if intercourse is painful, you should speak with your healthcare provider.
