A member asked:
When checking mirena (levonorgestrel) threads, should you just see if they are there and you can't feel plastic, or should you worry about the length as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just the threads: If you can feel the threads vaginally and not the plastic, that means it is properly placed.
