I had my iud inserted 6 weeks postpartum. im breastfeeding. havent had periods yet. ive had the iud for 3 months now. yesterday i couldnt feel the strings but i could feel the plastic of the iud on the opening. i dont have any pains or fever. ?

IUD's placed after vaginal birth can be pushed into the cervical canal with the post-partum uterine contractions, and if one can feel the "plastic" stem, the IUD is not in the correct place to render contraception dependably. While breast feeding, it is not unusual to suspend ovulation, but see your OB physician to remove the current IUD and insert a new one to be safer.
