Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Do you feel that the length of the threads are long?And do you also feel the lower tip of the Mirena?

Usually the threads of any IUD are kept long around 1 cm, to check if it still in place, but if its causing you discomfort then it could be displaced. In that case please get checked by a gyanecologist about sits position.

An improperly place Mirena may not be as effective as expected.

So best to get it checked, if misplaced get it removed and replaced with a another.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
