What does an IUD string feel like?
An IUD string feels like fishing line.
Do you have to feel the IUD string all the time?
No, you do not have to feel the IUD string all the time.
How do you check your IUD string?
To check your IUD string, just put a finger in your vagina and confirm that you can feel the string, you can't feel the plastic of the IUD, and the string does not seem to be noticably longer than the last time you checked.
Can the iud string come off and fall out of you?
Because it is securely attached to the IUD, an IUD string is unlikely to fall out. If you find your string is missing, contact your health care provider and use a backup method of birth control until you confirm that the IUD is still in place. A missing string can mean the IUD fell out without you knowing, but typically the string just moved up into the cervix.
Does the IUD string enter the cervix if pregnant while on the IUD?
No, that wouldn't normally happen.

There is no harm from having a short string on an IUD. Some women choose to have it inserted and have the entire string removed.
Is it true that a IUD string left behind after removal of the IUD can harm your baby?
I have never heard of such a thing after 20 years in family planning, and I also can't imagine how the IUD string would be left behind. I wouldn't lose sleep over this possibility.
What if you can only feel one string from the IUD?
As long as you can feel at least one string, there is no cause for concern, and no need for an exam with your health care provider. The purpose of checking the strings is to make sure the IUD is present an in place. The apparent disappearance of one string is not an indication of a missing or displaced IUD if the other one is present. The most likely reason for feeling only one string is that the other is so close it can't be perceived as separate.
You are having a leep procedure with the Mirena IUD is there anyone that can tell you of their experiences with the IUD?
Just had the LEEP surgery... They had to take out the Mirena because of the string...Now I have to pay over 800 just to get a new IUD put in.
How is the IUD removed?
The IUD is removed in the office by grasping the strings and pilling slowly, gently, and firmly until the IUD comes out. No anesthesia or special medication is required.
Is the blood that comes after taking the IUD out considered your period?
There can be a small amount of spotting when the IUD is removed, but that's not a period.
