Erm .. well just that actually.
Is this normal? I've had it in for about 5 months.

The strings sometimes go up. This happened to me and I had a scan which showed the coil to be in the right place, just the strings had worked their way up. Can you definitely not feel them at all?

I could never feel my strings. I think I had a combo of high and tilted cervix and short fat fingers.....
If not feeling the strings is unusual for you OP then I think a visit to a sexual health clinic or your gp so they can just have a peek with a speculum. Worth it for the peace of mind.

Yes if you’re worried it’s come out or gone out of place prob best to get checked out. I went to the gum clinic.
