I've had mine in for almost 6 months Now. I;ve really loved it so far. Untill the past 2 months when my periods stopped all together. No spotting or anything. And I've gained 12 lbs in the past month. This past month when I checked the string it was about 1 cm from being outside of me. Which normally It;s really high up. I'm afraid if I wipe to hard after going to the bathroom I might rip it out. ( which I'm sure is very unlikely to happen) I called my doctor and she wants to see me asap. So I'm seeing her very soon. Just wanted to know if anyone else has delt with this. Thanks
