I recently had my Mirena Coil fitted, I am 17 years old. I used to have the implant in my arm but had it removed after 6 months after it made me depressed and suicidal. My nurse advised me to have the coil to help with my acne (which I am very conscious about) and to balance out my hormones. The fitting was very uncomfortable as the nurse said that my body didn't really want the Mirena to be fitted as I haven't had a child and therefore my walls aren't stretched or something like that. She informed me she had left the strings long so I could find them when I got home and see what they felt like. When I first felt for the strings they seemed extremely low, almost an inch from the opening, I reached higher and could not feel any plastic so I was reassured that the coil had not become misplaced. However today, I felt uncomfortable as if the strings were poking me. I went to the bathroom and could actually feel the strings, this time they actually came out of my vagina opening a few centimetres. Again I reached higher to check for any plastic and could not feel any. I'm not sure whether to be worried as I'm on my period and I have read that some women's cervix moves when they're on their period and so they strings hang lower. Also because I have only recently had my coil fitted, could the strings just have been left too long and could I go back and ask for them to be shortened? Sorry for the long message, I've never posted on a forum before and I'm just looking for some advice. Thank you
