Can this really be happening?

Ok, so I am on my 10th day of the OJ Diet and things are going well. I am looking forward to the end of the two weeks and finally eating food again.

But here is my question. I went to the doctor on Monday for a Pap smear and it's a new doctor for me. My birth control method is an IUD (the Mirena) and I have had it for 3 years now. Anyway, while examining me, she asked if my husband could feel the strings. I said that they were pushed against my cervix so he couldn't.

Well, yesterday, I was bleeding a little bit and I went to feel my strings and they are SO long. I don't feel the plastic part yet, but I have an appt to get it removed tomorrow. Do you think my body is trying to push it out during my fast? Anyone have any experience with this?

How is your fast coming along?

Just wondering how things went. I have a Paragard IUD & started raw 2 weeks ago. I did a master cleanse back in December of 2004, and got the IUD in Feb of 2005, so I haven't done a fast/cleanse with it in, so I'm just curious.

I wouldn't know, but it could be that your body is rejecting it because, well...it's not supposed to be in there!

Wow... that's interesting. I've heard of people losing fillings so maybe your body is rejecting it. Will be interesting to hear if this has happened to anyone else.
