Liletta IUD

I got the iud placed in September. My boyfriend cannot feel the strings. I had my period and it doesn’t feel like it has moved. i really don’t to waste a co lay on getting it checked but i am slightly worried. I also get random pains and what feels like something popping in my lower abdomen near my ovaries and uterus. it happens once in awhile.

Also did the IUD make you constipated? I don’t know if it is just my diet but i have felt like ever since i got the IUD i struggle with going to the bathroom. I still cramp a lot too with it
