ā€œIs my IUD OK?ā€

Is my IUD OK? When I use the bathroom this morning a ball of white something fell out of me it was about an inch or inch and a half around I guess. I’m not in any pain everything feels normal. Well maybe a little stomach cramping in the lower stomach. But no bleeding or anything. Is my IUD OK?

IUD isn't soft or round , maybe a leftover part of toilet paper or tampon if you use it . Can you feel the string if you put your hands into your vagina . The doctor that put it in should have taught you how to feel for your string . If it's not there I would check with a gynecologist
It probably just needs to be checked.
