A member asked:

Mirena (levonorgestrel) string gone! deep cramp left side for two days, brown discharge for four weeks! help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confirm where it is: Hi, If you are saying that you can't feel the strings yourself they could just be curled up in the cervical canal. However you should see your doctor and see if he/she can confirm the presence/position of your IUD via ultrasound.
