IUD Falling Very Low

[random_lady]

I've had my IUD for just over two weeks now and I have been checking it on a daily basis to make sure that I can feel the string and that it is in place.  Yesterday I was experiencing some cramping a little out of the ordinary and I have been bleeding off and on for the past two weeks, with today being a heavy day.  Just an hour ago I checked my IUD in the shower and for the first time I'm pretty sure I felt the tip of it peak out from the opening of my cervix but I can't seem to push the IUD further in or to pull it out, so it seems wedged there for the time being.  I'm debating what to do because I was hoping to have some fun with a new fling tomorrow but the intelligent half of my brain is saying I should go see my gynecologist tomorrow asap...  It's rather late to be doing anything right this second but I was wondering if it's safe so long as it stays in its current place and will continue to be an effective form of birth control?  This really ***** because I've been waiting so long to finally have some fun and at the last moment the damn thing has to go and fall low in my cervix....   *sigh*

It as absolutely NOT SAFE to have sex when the tip of the IUD has protruded through the cervix.  That happened to me twice, two different types of IUD's and the uterus is trying to expell it - you can, and will get preganant if you are in a fertile time of your cycle.  The only thing to do is have the OB/GYN remove it and inplant another one - once it starts to come out, it will be damaged and not effective.
