Help help help! IUD is falling out!

Hayley

I have the Paragard and it’s been about a month since I checked the strings so after my shower just now I did and the strings are at the opening of my vagina. I’m going to try to get into the doctor tomorrow but what do I do in the mean time? Just leave it alone and let it fall out if it does? I’m obviously not going to pull it out and risk damaging something internally but I’m so creeped out that it’s falling out.

EDIT- I’ve had Paragard for 6 months and used to have to reach pretty far to even feel the tip of the string. Now if I reach a half inch up I feel the actual device!
