Had my copper coil fitted this morning, but am unable to feel any string at all? Should i be worried?

I've never been able to feel mine and the nurse struggled when I went for my six week check. Apparently I have a posterior cervix, which makes string finding near enough impossible.

If you are concerned at all give the GP/nurse a call.
