"Strung out": Don't get "strung out" if you can't feel the IUD string any longer but the iUD device itself. Get a GYN MD to check the placement immediately, because they have been known to be partially extruded with severe cramping and at that point are no longer an effective contraceptive and you will "strike out" with a unplanned pregnancy.
