Hi everyone

I had the mirena IUD inserted last Tuesday. I had some cramping that day and a bit on Wednesday, but then was fine.

Yesterday in the shower I felt the strings for the first time, they were very easy to feel.

Today I had a bit of quite painful cramping while sleeping, so checked for the strings in the shower and can't find anything! Surely it couldn't have come out in between being in bed and me getting in the shower, without me noticing?

I know I'll have to see the doctor, but as it's Sunday, just wondering if anyone else has had experiences they could share? Is it possible the strings can dissapear up into the uterus? I just find it hard to believe its come out.

TIA for your answers, Cathy.
