I have had my mirena iud since july of
2005. Each month I check the strings to
make sure that the iud is still in its
proper position. At first I was able to
feel both strings easily, but now I only
seem to be feeling one. I am pretty sure
that they are not stuck together, but I
know that this is a possibility. Also,
this month the string seems to have
shortened significantly, to the point that
it is barely sticking out of the cervix.
It used to be at least 2 cm. Has anyone
else experienced this with the iud? I
have heard others say that the string
length may change depending on the time in
the cycle... Currently I am around mid
cycle. I don't really know if this is
something to call the doctor about or not
because the string technically is not
missing. Please let me know what you
think.

It is normal for the strings to change a
little throughout the cycle, your cervix
does move in different positions.
