Hi,I have had my Paraguard IUD x 3 mos now and I am currently on day 2 of my menstrual cycle. All day today I have been experiencing a bear down feeling that I have not experienced prior to today. I decided to check my strings today and noticed that they are much longer than what its supposed to be. Should I be concerned and make an appointment for a check up?
Hi, Dear. Welcome to Chat Doctor. If you feel that the strings seems to be longer then there might be chances of misplaced IUD.  You should be careful not to do unprotected sex during this time and try to consult your Gynecologist as soon as possible. Your doctor will detect if your IUD has misplaced, or it is in its place. Do not panic, keep calm and see your doctor. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
