I think my IUD traveled to my abdomen

HI everyone..
I've been searching all morning about IUD travel on the internet & then, look at this, unbelievable... someone is posting about an IUD this morning.
I tell ya,,, I'm always amazed when coincidences like that occur.

Anyway,,, I had my paraguard IUD inserted April 10th and its been fine.
Insanely long first period (8 days) and very very slight spotting in between.
Besides that, no cramping or anything.
And,, before the IUD, my periods were 2-3 days & I never get crampy, swollen, all those other things that happen to most women.

But,, last nite,, we were in a bit of a sexual marathon and I swear,, I think he pushed the IUD from its resting spot.
I've been having (what must be, I assume) cramps today.
I tried feeling for the strings and I think I felt them, I don't know,, I never looked for them before.

I put a call into my gyn and I want to get in to see her tmrw but according to the internet, the IUD can travel to the abdomen & nothing further & my cramping is behind my belly button.

What do you think?? Has this happened to any of you? The info online states it 'can' move but they don't state how it would feel.....

Also,, as a sidenote,, my partner can feel the strings as well... from the very first time. I'll have to check out those links that were given in that earlier post to see about that.

Thanks for your help

-Stacey

I've had my IUD for 3 1/2 years and hardly ever check for the strings.
