Have you done a pregnancy test? My sister fell pregnant on the coil. Hers was finally removed when she had her Caesarian!

As it expired 2 years ago, what are you currently using for contraception? The obvious answer is do a pregnancy test and if that's not the cause then go to GP. Tbh go to GP even if it is as they will need to discuss with gynae about whether you should have it removed, though usually not.

Agree with you - but most often coil should be removed in early pregnancy where possible. OP’s coil maybe not so much if the strings aren’t visible or sitting in the cervix - but agree with you will need a Dr discussion whether pregnant or not.
