If you suspect an Inter-Uterine device (IUD) is missing, an MRI can detect it, if it's still inside the body. Of course, if the MRI doesn't detect it, it isn't there anymore.

If you have Mirena coil in site and strings have disappeared making the Mirena a lost coil What is the solution?
If you can't feel the strings, that doesn't mean the Mirena is "lost." See your health care provider for an ultrasound to confirm the IUD is in place. If it's at the top of your uterus and you're happy on the IUD, there's no need to remove it. If the IUD is not in place, then you need to get a new IUD or find an alternate method. If you would like to stop the IUD, your health care provider normally can locate the strings in the endocervical canal without difficulty, usually just by using a q-tip as used during a pap smear. If the strings are missing, be sure to use a backup method of birth control until your health care provider can confirm that the IUD is in place.

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.
What happens when you have not had your IUD checked in mouths?
Regular IUD checks are not necessary. Typically you get checked just once after insertion.
Do you have to get your IUD checked if you've lost a lot of weight?
No, weight changes do not affect the IUD or its proper placement. Diaphragms are the method that need a fit-check after significant weight change.
If you are already pregnant when an IUD is placed will it hurt the baby?
i got pregnant while using an IUD. the IUD had gone through my uterine wall and into my abdominal cavity. my doctor told me not to worry that it would be ok and they would remove it after i had the baby. i lost my baby when i was 18 months pregnant. it was horrible. i had to have 2 surgeries to get the IUD out. i do not recommend IUD's to anyone.Kindly note IUD devices to keep sperm to reach egg theoretically it is just not possibleto get pregnant with correct size IUD placed inside u by expert. If u got pregnancykindly remove it immediately it will certainly not necessary now. Sooner the better
Can you get pregnant if an IUD isn't placed right?
Maybe. The probability is low as an IUD will reduce the chance of implantation just by being there.
Can losing weight cause regular periods even if you have an IUD and stopped having periods for the first 2 years?
I am not sure but this just happened to me. I have had an IUD (Mirena) for 4 years and had not been having any periods. Recently, I lost almost 40 lbs and now I am having a regular period.
If just took out my IUD and that week i got pregnant are you at risk?
There is no special risk from getting pregnant right after you stop using the IUD.
What is the differnec between a copper IUD and a multi load IUD?

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.
Where do IUD strings go if they get lost?
Some men feel them during intercourse, that is one way - the other is to insert your finger and use a sweeping motion to feel for the string. If you can't feel them, bare down (as if you were having a bowel movement). Never try pulling on them, you could end up with a perforated cervix or uterus. If all else fails go in to see your MD or midwife, they can tell you very quickly if the IUD is in place, it is rare but the IUD occasionally may slip out un-noticed, so if the strings are not where you remember feeling them, see your doctor.
