IUD strings lengthening and shortening?

Does anyone else's IUD strings seem to do this throughout their cycle? I know the cervix changes position so maybe this is causing it. I'm on day 12 of my cycle and the cervix is high up and the strings feel really long. I just had my first period with the Paragard and I can't seem to get it out of my head that maybe it's shifted. TIA for any help.

This is normal. It has to do with what you mentioned - the position of the cervix. That position changes throughout a woman's monthly cycle.

yup me too. Sometimes you have to sort of bear down to be able to feel them. It's normal.
