A member asked:
I've had the mirena (levonorgestrel) almost 5 yrs this sept i couldn't feel strings should i be worried have a numb patch on thigh could it ?

Follow up: I would recommend seeing a gynecologist to evaluate the location of the IUD since you can no longer feel the string. Also get leg numbness evaluated. They may or may not be related
