Argh.

Well next time ya know where to go!

It might pay to pick up an IUD pamphlet from the FP clinic (or download one from the website - www.familyplanning.org.nz ) as it gives you a bunch of info on when you should see your doc etc.

Hey all, thanks for all the replies!

Hehe, always happy to entertain you Nicky and Ginger!
I'm not too stressed about it now that you've put my mind at rest about the pregnancy risk Emma and Becks
I'll see if hubby has any more luck finding them than I did (How very kinky and romantic huh? ), I'm sure its still hiding in there somewhere! Otherwise I'll make an appointment with the Dr tomorrow.


Ana! That's a bit shocking!! Ditto what Emma said!

How did you get on Mel?? IS it still in place. I did some thinking and as you have the mirena in it'll still be releasing the drugs into your body.

I was told its very common for the strings to coil up inside ya so ya can't feel them but it doesn't mean its floating around. Also some ladies have had them fall out without noticing but lets hope thats not you.

I'd go to the Dr just to make sure it hasn't fallen out and a wee surprise has taken its place ]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:01:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14273&PID=296292&title=iud-ladies-poss-tmi#296292 <![CDATA[IUD Ladies (poss TMI!) : Ah you crack me up Mel!!

I'd say go get it checked just in case Mel, with the Mirena you're less likely to get preggy if it's come loose coz you still have the hormones it's releasing, but it's probably still worth 'finding it'.]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 11:26:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14273&PID=296074&title=iud-ladies-poss-tmi#296074 <![CDATA[IUD Ladies (poss TMI!) : Um &#039;Get thyself to the Dr...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14273&PID=296070&title=iud-ladies-poss-tmi#296070 Author: toniellis

Does anyone know how serious it is if your IUD goes missing?

I'm guessing its not that unusual to lose the strings once its been in for a while? And to be honest I haven't been checking them as regularly as they recommend, but I've never had any trouble finding them before.
I don't think there is any chance that it has come out without me noticing so it must be floating around up there somewhere, or more likely just a bit buried!
Is this a 'Get thyself to the Dr or ye will be with child and consequentially insane" or is it slightly less worrying and more "Get thyself to the Dr cos that thing is floating round ripping up thy insides" or not really a concern but "Next time ye find thyself at the Dr ask about AWOL IUD's potential for doom"?

TIA!!]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:45:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14273&PID=296027&title=iud-ladies-poss-tmi#296027
