checking IUD?

hello...

I had a copper IUD put in 2 months ago after the birth of my 2nd child. I had the dr cut the string short since i can reach my cervix and didn't forsee any problems checking it. well, i checked it tonight, and the string feels quite a bit longer than I remember it. would i have any symptoms if it was being expelled?

my dr didn't really tell me much in the way of what to look for in case of problems.

thanks,

kristen

Hi Kristen, welcome!

If your IUD is being expelled you might feel disconfort or you might not. If I were you I'd call my Doc first thing in the morning and tell him or her what you told us. S/he might want to check its position. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck
