My IUD is about to expire and the string of my IUD has been missing since years, but yearly ultrasounds showed that the IUD is in place (which been a year now).


I have been feeling sick and tired since a week now. Can hardly stay awake, feel bloated, sick, headache

I've had both kinds of IUD and was always told if I couldnt' feel the string go call the doc right away.

Hi Wendy, thank you for your reply and everyone else as well :-)


Actually my last Ultrasound was last August, it is been a while. And I didn't have my period in 3-4 years, which is common with the IUD. I really don't know.


The bummer is that I don't have any health insurance until I go back to work this year in Ausgust :-(

I know you don't have insurance, but hunni it is REALLY dangerous to have your IUD lodged inside of your uterus.
