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.
