lost their IUD??? I mean it was inserted, you felt the strings for the first few months and then *poof* it was gone!! I havent felt the strings in 3mths, went to my doc and she did an internal and cant find the strings either. I am getting an x-ray done to see if it still there, only further up, BUT I have to wait for AF to arrive in case I am PG right now. Has anyone had this happen to them -- if so, what was the outcome? Thanks

I hope you find out what's going on in your situation soon...I've had my IUD for about 1 year and haven't had any problems....Sometimes my string is longer (easier to feel) at certain times of them month than others.Sometimes it's so far UP I can barely feel the tips and at other times I can feel alot more of it.I've heard (from posts here) that the string can get wrapped around the cervix.....good luck
