Missing IUD Strings

El

Hi Ladies!

Im really lazy at checking my IUD strings, and this evening I decided to and I couldn’t feel them. I had a good check as much as I could and nothing. Last period I tried using a period cup for the first time and then moved to tampons because with didn’t like the cup that much. I’m wondering whether this could have had an impact on my IUD at all. I’m currently not sexually actively so I’m not concerned in that side of things, but just want to make sure it’s not doing any damage. I can’t get in to see my regulars doctor for like 3 weeks and don’t really want to see just anyone for such a personal matter... Is it urgent that I go see someone? Or can it wait? Has anyone else had this experience.

Ps. I have felt the strings in the past. But haven’t checked for a few months.
