Is it normal to not feel one's intrauterine device?

It is normal not to feel your intrauterine device. Most women do not feel the strings of their IUD, and this is also the case for partners during sexual intercourse. However, if you experience symptoms such as abdominal cramps, contractions, or bleeding, it may indicate that the IUD is not correctly placed or has moved outside the uterus. It is recommended to attend your follow-up appointment in one month without taking any further action.
