If you have concerns the best course of action is to discuss with the provider who inserted the IUD, by scheduling an appointment for an examination. One may experience breakthrough bleeding for the first 6 months following insertion. The bleeding is not due to position of cervix. Consider link from Mayo Clinic to review https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/mirena/about/pac-20391354

I think my IUD is coming out, strings are lower, it feels like something is stuck inside my cervix, cramps, no bleeding other than spotting though. Does it sound like its coming out? What should I do if I cant see my doctor quickly?
