I have had the Mirena coil now for over a year. It's been great, no problems, no periods and I've generally been really happy with it.
About 4 weeks ago I had really bad cramps for two days and it made me check my coil strings because something didn't feel right. I couldn't feel the strings but my cervix was in an awkward position so I decided to wait and try again.
Fast forward to now, I still haven't been able to find them and went to the dr today who also couldn't find/ see them.
She has referred me for an ultrasound to see if the coil is still in place and has told me to assume I have no contraception until I find out.
Obviously I'm really worried now and was wondering whether anyone else has been through similar and what was the outcome?
