Hey don't worry about the string. I was worried about it too, like a tampon catching on it while pulling one out, never happened though. But you don't even know it's there. It's much like very thin fishing string, or like that plastic string that they use on some comforters. I always had a hard time finding them or even feeling them. My husband never felt them with either his fingers or penis. They are not stiff hard strings or thick threads of cotton, they just kind of float around in there like hair in water.

My husband is sure that he doesn't want anymore kids, so I am not too worried about birth control after we have our baby - he plans on getting fixed. If he does, then there is no reason for me to worry about bc. But I would definately consider it as an option again, even though the thought of having go through those first few months were rough. It's a matter of how easy it is for long term bc that made it worth it.
