Is Longer Strings Than Normal Of Paraguard IUD Causing Mood Swings Concerning?

Hi,

I have had my Paraguard IUD x 3 mos now and I am currently on day 2 of my menstrual cycle. All day today I have been experiencing a bear down feeling that I have not experienced prior to today. I decided to check my strings today and noticed that they are much longer than what it's supposed to be. Should I be concerned and make an appointment for a check up?
