Can’t feel IUD strings, it’s been a week.

My boyfriend can’t feel them, I can’t feel them. It’s been one week today since I got Skyla in and my boyfriend thinks he’s maybe* felt the strings once. My doctor told me to take my birth control pill for a week after insertion so that I’m protected. My boyfriend and I are just nervous that we can’t check placement and I don’t feel like going into the office before my one month follow up. Has anyone had this experience? How long did it take to feel your strings? At what point in your cycle did you feel them?
