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.
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.

A missing string can mean the IUD fell out without you knowing, but typically the string just moved up into the cervix.
