Hi! I’ve had the Kyleena IUD for 2.5 years. I recently had a Pap smear 6 days ago where my doctor couldn’t find my strings. She told me to go home and to feel for my strings and if I feel them, she feels comfortable and confident that it’s just the position of my cervix that made it difficult for her to see. I was able to feel my strings and it was all good. Now I’m noticing I started my period/ maybe spotting 6 days later. I guess I’m psyching myself out about if my IUD moved. Is it common to have irregular bleeding with hormonal IUDs?

Also wanted to add that I started bleeding/ period 2 weeks before I was supposed to!

If you’re afraid it moved all you can do is see your doctor to check if everything is alright. But if you can feel your strings I don’t think that’s necessary. Irregular bleeding is a side effect that can happen with Kyleena.
