This is going to sound weird, but I was just now checking to see if my Mirena IUD strings were there and where they should be, and felt a soft yet firm bulge that was my cervix going down into my vagina. I know that a cervix comes somewhat down into the vagina but this didn't feel normal. It felt like the cervix was hanging too far down into my vagina. I am due to make an appointment with my gynecologist anyways, so I guess I'll tell him my concerns but wanted to know if this was anything I needed to get seen for right away.

I know the cervix changes depths and firmness as a woman ovulates but all the same, I'm a little concerned, what with my IUD and all. I hope my uterus isn't prolapsed.

What position were you in when you were checking the strings?

Why don't you see you gyn? I am not sure why would you check where your IUDs? Like stick your hand in there? Can you even stick your hand that far? I'd rather go see a doctor if have a concern.

You gotta check for the strings periodically to make sure it's still in place.

Artchic, I'd try checking your cervix again in a few days but make sure you are in the same position and see where your cervix is at.

Yeah, Mondays is right. When you have an IUD you need to make sure it's where it should be by checking for the strings regularly. I do so about once every couple of weeks or so.

I checked again and my cervix doesn't feel as prominent. Something occurred to me in that prior to checking the strings, I had been masturbating, and I know things kind of move around in there when one does that. So that may have been why.

I believe this is normal. I can feel my own easily. Also, I work with physicians who do pelvic exams all of the time and they touch/feel and try to move the cervix. If it wasn't close enough to be felt they would not routinely check it. However, if you are truly concerned; a trip to your gyno would also suffice.
