First off, you can and need to do a self check to make sure it's still in. Use your index finger, it can go the furthest. You should still be able to feel a thin thread or wire tucked behind your cervix. If you can't feel it, and think it may have become dislodged or pushed up, you need to go get checked. Also, if you think you might be pregnant, you NEED to go to the doc ASAP. Yes it's normal to spot brown with the IUD, but the other symptoms aren't normal. Your periods should be light and easy, so the sore breasts and low back pain, belly hardening, etc, it indicative of pregnancy. The IUD blocks off your whole uterus, so having it in while you think you might be pregnant could be detrimental to the fetus. Please seek medical attention.
