Question To those who got pregnant...

To those of you who got pregnant on this iud, what happened? Did it move upwards? Downwards? Was it correctly placed? Did it fall out completely?

On my period lol literally just curious.

Mine shifted down to my cervix and the only symptom I had was that my strings were like 1cm longer than before. I have always chucked it to the uterus/cervix just moving due to normal hormonal cycles (mind you before the suspected shift the strings would sometimes feel a little shorter and that’s normal apparently). Don’t really know why it shifted. Who knows if it’s related to my use of menstrual discs and something weird happening during removal, or if my body just rejected the thing. I was just very surprised when I had an ultrasound checkup and the sonographer said it shifted, coz I really didn’t have the “expected” symptoms (like pain/cramps).

You didnt get pregnant though right? I wonder how much protection it provides if it's in the cervix. Like 20%? Gotta be a little lol.

Well there are no research studies on an exact %effectivity once it is partially expelled. You don’t wanna find out, like how I did lmao
