Dissappearing Mirena!

Please help. I had a mirena inserted after my last baby 13 months ago. After feeling sick for the last few days I thought I'd check for the strings, but although I have felt them before I can't find anything whatso ever. This is a disastor?! in a way if I am pregnant (have 4 kids already and far too busy!)

What could have happened? Is it possible for the iud to be expelled on there own? Would it be lost inside of me? Could I be pregnant (my sickness could just be nerves!~) even though the IUD had been inserted properly? Could the pap smear I had 4 weeks ago dislodged it?

Sorry about so many questions I live hours away from DR.s and want get out for another 4 weeks or so.

Thanks for any advice

Hi tren2005,


Yes, it is possible for an IUD to expel itself, but it is a rare occurrence, and unless it expels during your period, you would probably notice.
