i was told by my doctor to give it a tug and i really didn't need to tug for more than a second, it was bothering me down there cuz it had virtually come out all the way by itself

If you can't feel the strings you need to see your ob/gyn or medical professional who inserted the IUD. They need to make sure it hasn't been displaced. If you do feel the strings, don't pull the strings yourself. Have a medical professional do it. Othwerwise you risk perforating your uterus or heavy, dangerous bleeding if it doesn't come out correctly or you accidentally pull too hard.

you have to go in and have them pull them down. I pulled my strings down myself because i couldnt feel them. If you DIY dont pull to hard so the iud wil come out

Hi, usually if you can't feel the strings it could just mean that they have curled up nearer the top. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just go to the doctors and see if they can spot them. I had the hormone coil, couldn't feel the string sometimes but it turned out to be ok and the copper coil was awful, i always felt the strings and one day they actually started poking me down low and discovered that it was coming out, the doc said give it a little tug and if it hurts then its ok if it comes out then your body must have rejected it and pushed it out.
