A member asked:

Dr couldn't see or feel strings on mirena (levonorgestrel) coil, what could have happened? (was examined due to bleeding after sex)(coil fitted 1 week ago)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mirena (levonorgestrel): You could have expelled the device. Your best option is to have an ultrasound to evaluate your uterus for the iud and its placement.
