Be carefull to conclude that an IUD is to the side in an xray. In an xray, you can't see your uterus, therefore it is hard to decide it is not in the middle. Not every uterus is exactely in the middle, and they can also be "turned". And even if they are in the middle and perfectly straight like you see them in an anatomical atlas, the xray can be a bit rotated, giving you a false impression. In any case, a gynaecologist can check your IUD for you if you are worried. As they work 2 ways (chemically/hormonally and mechanically), being a bit off shouldn't reduce their effectiveness. If they are way off though, it would be best to have your gynaecologist check to make sure it didn't perforate the wall (i doubt that, as this would cause blood loss and probably pain and stomach aches).
