A member asked:
Hi i am 42 got mirena (levonorgestrel) coil fitted over week ago but cannot feel strings and had on and off pain in lower abdomen is this normal , can't feel strings?

See your doctor: When an iud is placed, its strings are left 1-2 cm protruding from the cervix so that you can feel them and be assured that the iud is still in place. If you cannot feel the strings, you should see your doctor to confirm the placement of the iud. In the meantime, use a backup form of birth control to be on the safe side in case it has been expelled.
