IUD strings

Erika

So I was checking my iud strings because I forgot to two weeks ago after my period. Anyway, my iud strings looped or curled up into my uterus!! I Can still feel them though so it’s not like they got shorter, they just curled I called the doctor because I’m paranoid and he said that’s okay nothing to be worried about unless I can’t feel the strings at all, they get shorter, or I feel hard plastic. I was told it was normal not too weird, so I’m wondering if it’s happened to anyone else. I also heard that when my next period comes in 16 days the strings could come back down. Let me know if any of you have experienced this and what the outcome was! 😊 (I got the iud a month ago btw)
