I had an iud inserted about 5 days ago. Since then, I’ve noticed that the strings are kinda hanging out of me by a couple of cm and my cervix is extremely low (I can feel it with my pointer finger, and my fingers are quite small). Is my iud trying to come out, is this normal? I can’t call my office until Tuesday, but I did send them a message through my patient portal.
I’m just freaking out about it and need some good news lol

You’re supposed to be able to feel the strings. Because it’s for when it is taken out. So they need to be out slightly. If they are uncomfortable or longer or your partner can feel them when having sex then you can get them cut shorter. But they still need to be outside the cervix to grab

do you mean hanging out of you as in actually out of your vulva? or out of the cervix. as said above they need to be outside of the cervix for removal but they definitely should not be outside of your body. i’d definitely just get an appointment to double check, especially since you feel like your cervix has moved positions as i haven’t personally experienced that or even heard that xx
My baby is only one and I’ve been talking to my husband about trying for another but I’m nervous about going through the newborn stage with another child so young. I’d like to hear everyone’s stories good or bad about the jump from one child to two, or if you only have one, do you regret not trying for another?

Someone might say, I am a geriatric mother. At 35 I realised that I mingt never be a mother. One miscarriage and few years of trying I end up in IVF clinic. The experience was difficut, there were days filled with hope and light and there were days when the darkness would consume everything. I am so lucky to say that my journey is a good one, after few attempts I bow have my baby girl.
I am now facing a question -> should I try again (later), I still have more embrios left.
Would like to hear IVF stories and see if there is difference in hormone supported vs natural insemination.

My period is due today. It has been coming early lately, but it still isn't here. I had a negative digital test, but I don't know if I see a line here.
