Permit me to celebrate...I did it, I did it, I did it...I found my strings!!! Thanks to all who gave suggestions. This morning I tried it as in the illustration in the Paraguard and was unsuccessful. Thanks to the suggestions from folks on this board, I found it just now using a more squatting position. I now know I have felt my cervix before but just the "side" of it. Now I know it aims way more toward my back than I had expected based on illustrations (maybe a 6x childbirth thing?). The strings sort of tuck up behind it.

Thanks for letting me share...and thanks again to everybody:)

Hi Sandy! I've read your posts, but I haven't been able to help because I don't have an IUD, so my knowledge of them is limited. I'm glad you found your strings, and I just wanted to say I give you ALOT of credit for having six kids! I only have one, and that is enough for me! Good luck with your IUD, and with all those kids :)
