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.

I had an IUD insertion weeks ago. I had my period two days ago and checked for the thread but couldnt feel them. Should I be worried or have these formed part of my vaginal fold or tissue?The threads were very short so did they coil into my cervix?
