I have had my mirena iud since july of
2005. Each month I check the strings to
make sure that the iud is still in its
proper position. At first I was able to
feel both strings easily, but now I only
seem to be feeling one. I am pretty sure
that they are not stuck together, but I
know that this is a possibility. Also,
this month the string seems to have
shortened significantly, to the point that
it is barely sticking out of the cervix.
It used to be at least 2 cm. Has anyone
else experienced this with the iud? I
have heard others say that the string
length may change depending on the time in
the cycle... Currently I am around mid
cycle. I don't really know if this is
something to call the doctor about or not
because the string technically is not
missing. Please let me know what you
think.
