If a coil has disappeared...

[chjlly]

but hasn't fallen out where can it have gone?
I went for my smear test on Thursday and the nurse coundn't find the threads and I can't feel them either (have previously when checked)
Where can it have gone?

Do you really want to know....? (Can you not guess?!) got to the GP!!

It should show up in a scan

Threads might have gone up inside the uterus, it happens occasionallt & doesn't affect the way the coil works. An ultrasound scan will make sure coil's in the right place!

Thanks everyone - was hoping that the nurse was being useless but she wasn't! better phone gp first thing!
