IUD HELP?! may be tmi

elle • college freshman

i’m currently on my period right now and i felt like something was scratching me and i thought i might have accidentally left a tampon in there and it was irritating me. when i checked, i’m pretty sure it was my iud bc it was small and idk if i should be freaking out or not bc it’s been irritating me all day and i just realized it was my IUD. should i be worried?
