GYN exam: needed to ascertain that your IUD is in place and to rule out pelvic disease.

Get checked: It could be a range of things. Could simply be that your body is getting used to the implant. However it could also be caused by infection, fibroid, growth in the uterus, miscarriage etc. You will need to go to your GP and get a full workup including a gynae examination, bloods, cervical smear, vaginal swabs and a pelvic USS.
