Reflective questions

A 36-year-old woman attends your SRH clinic for a ‘coil check’. She had an LNG-IUS inserted 6 weeks ago and was told to come back for a review appointment. She is happy with the method so far. She has been unable to feel the device threads herself but wonders if they might just be short. She was menstruating when the device was inserted but has not had any further menses since then. She is a para 2+1 (2 SVDs and 1 miscarriage) and is in a relationship with her husband of 15 years.
