I had an IUD inserted 3 months ago and there are a few things I am concerned about. I had the string trimmed, because my boyfriend could feel it during sex, but now the doctor cannot find the string. She doesn't seem concerned about this, though, although I find it somewhat unsettling. I have had spotting and cramping for the past months, and now I got my period 2 weeks early, and the blood seems darker than usual. On top of that, I now seem to have a UTI, for which i just took some Cipro. How would I know if my IUD perforated? I read an excess of dark blood at a random time is a sign of a miscarriage...? I know there are all kinds of symptoms in the first couple of months of an IUD, so I don't want to stress out, on the other hand I want to be safe. Unfortunately, I can't even talk to my gyno on the phone, she requires that one make an appointment to discuss anything, and then I have a 50$ co-pay! Is there a free gyno hotline of some sort??
