If your partner feels the IUD strings, there is no cause for concern. if your partner feels part of the plastic of the IUD, the IUD is being expelled and you are at risk for pregnancy. Consider using emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last five days, and contact your health care provider for an immediate appointment. Use a backup method of Birth Control until you get checked.
If there is a string on your IUD, then yes, there is a chance that, by either you or your partner, it can become dislodged and no longer be effective against pregnancy. You should consult your doctor if you are worried this may be the case.

Yes, the IUD can come out on its own. It's not common, but it's one of the causes of IUD failure. That's why one of the few things that the couple using an IUD has to do is check the strings at least once a month. If you can't find them, or if they seem significantly longer than they were before, you should use a back up method of birth control until you can get an exam by your health care provider.
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.
