Mirana iud strings suddenly very short, severe abdominal contractions, and heavy period. could it be perforation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked ASAP!: If your Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud strings are suddenly much shorter, they could have simply moved up into the cervix or uterus. But, pregnancy (while not likely) enlarges the uterus and can make the iud migrate upward. Perforation - the iud moving through the uterine wall - could do this also. Any unusual pain, abnormal bleeding, or change in the way your iud "seems" is reason to be checked. Do this asap.

Can rapid weight loss cause a hormone change. Recently had a period with the mirena IUD in place. No previous periods. The rapid weight loss was related to gastric sleeve surgery 6 weeks ago. This is the second mirena IUD and this would be the first time
