A member asked:

What does it feel like & what needs to be done if your iud shows still in your uterus but side ways showing on ct scan that way. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Harder to remove: IUDs do odd things at times. Even if they are put in correctly, they can turn side-ways. If the IUD is still in the uterus, you are protected from pregnancy. However, a side-ways IUD can become imbedded in the uterine wall and make it harder to remmove. Best wishes!
