Can you "feel" an IUD?

I had an IUD put in 5 days ago. I had minor cramping for a day and some spotting for about three days. I expected those...
But has anyone felt like they can feel the IUD? I have this weird sensation like I can feel it...almost like a slight pressure; like I need to push it out. If that makes any sense!
Not sure if this just happens in some people, if it is a sign of an improper insertion, etc. I'm really want to use this method of BC, and hoping that maybe this is just a temporary side effect that will go away.
If it makes any difference, its Paragard. Obviously, this is my first time with an IUD.
I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow to see what he says, but has anyone had this feeling before?

I got my IUD put in on Friday and it is my first time having one. I don't feel it at all so I would call your doctor.
FYI, my doctor scheduled an ultrasound in 4 weeks to make sure the IUD is where it is supposed to be.
