Do u have insurance? When the IUD was placed did the dr instruct you check the string on the IUD occasionally? Has the pain been increasingly worse?

Go back to the dr that placed the paraguard IUD and explain your symptoms. He/she may have to order an ultrasound to check that the IUD is placed properly
