IUD has fallen out

5 replies

I've had it for almost a year and had some recent problems with heavy and prolonged bleeding so I was intending to get it removed anyway. But last night when I went to the toilet I could feel the strings hanging out of my vagina. I felt inside and it had completely come out of the cervix.

The thing is, my period is due today and I don't know what to expect. As it was the copper coil I know things should return back to normal pretty quickly, but having it come out so close to my period, I don't know if my period will be how it has been with the IUD - much longer and heavier. With that said, I have been getting spotting for a few days before my period since I've had the IUD and I've had nothing this month, which makes me wonder how long it's not been positioned quite right.

Has anyone had similar and can tell me what to expect?

Mine literally fell out today I just posted about it!
This is my 2nd expelled mirena and I bleed a lot when it happens. A crap ton

You need to see GP and have a scan
The first time they think mine fell out as large fibroid pushing on it
This time who knows!

My body was trying to expel mine (was getting contractions) so I removed it myself. The pain went instantly and my period was still heavy but the consequent one was fine.

Hard to know re the period. Both times I was on my period at the time it fell out and a lot of blood and clots came out
I would think you will probably have a period like normal but really not sure

Thanks both.

I had no pain or bleeding when it came out. But I did have awful pain and bleeding a few weeks ago.

Today I've had a few cramps but still no period.
