I have an iud but i haven't been able to feel the string for about a month. should i be worried? i have an appointment for next week.

Don't worry: It is not uncommon for IUD strings to curl under cervix or into OS (cervical opening). It is not common, but not impossible for IUD to become completely expelled without patient's knowledge. I would recommend being seen sooner to confirm that your IUD is still in uterus.
