Can't feel IUD strings

I checked last month after my period and thought I could feel them.  I was freaking out today when I realized I was two days late and I could not feel them.

Thankfully, AF came (not that we don't want another baby eventually but my midwife told me getting pregnant with an IUD can cause you to miscarry or the baby to be born with defects).  

I know they can sometimes just be moved, but I am going to make an appointment my midwife once AF is over to make sure it is still in there.

I couldn't find my IUD strings a couple of weeks ago and the Dr said give it a couple weeks and if you still can't find them to come in.  The string re appeared a few days later.

 That's scary to hear.  My DH was a surprise IUD baby and I'm sure the IUDs were much worse 30 years ago.

That is good to know!

DH was excited when I told him I was late but I was upset by what the midwife told me.  If I was pregnant, I would be terrified by her comment.  I read on the Internet what could happen and it was not pretty.
