First... hahaha thanks guys for make us laugh.
Most of the girls are right, you should go to the Doctor to have a look and better don´t make sex before going. And it´s truth it´s better not to wear tampon with IUD. I wear IUD for 4 years in a row..........., next year is my last then I have to remove it and change it again,.........never wear tampon and no problems ever in these years.

Help is right. an IUD should never ever be in place for more than 90 days. there are several documented cases of the IUD passing into the diaphragm wall when left in too long. They have gotten caught in the uterus and many other issues. and No you would not necessarily have felt it once it proceeds past the vaginal canal. Go see your OB Either get a new one or use an alternate method. and please ask your OB some questions.

well it could be that the string got caught in the tampon! i think i would go to my doctor to have it checked. also im not sure the durating the iud is left inside before it needs to be changed.

Go see the doctor as soon as possible. An improperly positioned IUD can cause problems that you don't want.

Your could have, IUD are suppose to be implanted at the top of your uterus, but they sometimes move. I would see my doctor, let the nurse know what you can feel and that you need to get asap. You should never be able to touch it.

i want to know why you were wearing a tampon with an IUD in the first place...... your dr didn't tell you NOT to wear one?

You are supposed to get a new IUD every six months!

Call your doctor and ask. You may have jarred it some way and you sure don't want that! You need to call him to make sure you haven't set yourself up for getting pregnant. Do it today.
