I had a Mirena fitted on Friday afternoon. It was fine, didn't hurt much, no cramping afterwards. But I had a feel around for the strings later on that day and couldn't feel anything. I struggle to reach my cervix (sorry for tmi) so wonder if that's the problem, or if the doctor just trimmed them deliberately short? After fitting it, he did say 'right, I'll trim the tails now' so maybe I'm not supposed to feel them? It would just make me feel a bit better if I could feel them and knew that it was there. (it must be, I checked for tails after he'd fitted it and before I'd been to the loo so can't have fallen out)
I think I might wait for my 4 week check before having sex without a condom, just to be safe
(am paranoid because I fall pregnant VERY easily, have fallen on the Pill)
Any advice?
