My string was cut very short, so I don't think I could have felt it even if I wanted to, but I told my dr from the very beginning that I probably wouldn't check it myself. Just not something I want to do. Don't plan on checking this time either. I never once checked mine the entire 5 years I had it, other than when I was at routine appts (yearly pap, etc.).

You feel a small pinch going in and then some period like cramping. I think if it is more intense than that then you should go get checked out with your doc right away. Something could be wrong or out of place. Its not supposed to hurt like crazy. You feel a small pinch going in and then some period like cramping.

My doctor recommend once per month but I wasn't very diligent at checking. The thing is you want to make sure it is there and that it is in the right place. @Megan – You should be able to check it yourself.

I haven't had it checked every month like reccomended by the doctors. I haven't had it checked at all since I've had it. Am I more likely to get pregnant since I haven't had it checked at all? It makes me worried but I haven't been able to find a doctor who will check it for me. Any suggestions?

I had my other one removed about 3 wks ago. My dr. tried to insert a new one at that same time, but had trouble getting it in. We finally gave up because it was hurting so bad. We decided to try again with my next period. So, I went Thurs. She had given me Cytotec (medicine to soften the cervix). This time it worked! She was able to get the Mirena in on the first try. I'm not gonna lie, it hurt really bad. But, it's 100% worth it in my eyes. I was very crampy that night and somewhat crampy for the next day or two, but now I'm just fine. I loved having the first one. I bled for 8 wks straight after the 1st one, but this time I only bled for two days. I'm looking forward to another 5 years! If you're having severe pain after a few days or major problems, then something is wrong. You need to call your doctor immediately. I just got my 2nd Mirena this past Thursday.

I had another appointment an hour later in another wing of the hospital and I couldn't even walk that far. I got a little ways down the hall, found a restroom and laid on the floor of the bathroom until someone came in and helped me. My face was ashen gray, I was shaking, and was in so much pain I could barely walk. When I got home (I have no clue how I made the 30 minute drive home) I called the babysitter to say I couldn't pick my kids up until later and just laid in bed for the next 5 hours. It was as bad as childbirth pain (and with my 2nd delivery my epidural didn't work so I know...) I quit getting my depo because it was so painful that I couldn't sit or sleep for 2 days afterward... but there is no comparison to this pain. I can feel the strings and there is no bright or heavy blood so I don't think it expelled or anything. I've just been laying on the couch for 3 days now with a pillow and heating pad. The cramping goes from my knees to my hips to my ribs, even my girly bits hurt and it's just horrible. Did anyone else experience horrific pain when they got their IUD? I told my husband if it doesn't get better REAL quick I'm getting it taken out and he can have his you know what's snip-snipped. It's so unfair that we have to go through so much pain and men get out scotch free :( I got my Mirena 3 days ago.
