During your regular gynecologist visits, your doctor will check your device. Your cervix is supposed to hold the intrauterine device in place. However, in rare cases, it can fall part of the way or part of the way. You are running a higher risk of an IUD falling out if:
You are under 20 years old
You have fibroids in your uterus
The size and shape of your uterus is unusual
Your IUD was placed right after having a baby or a second-trimester abortion
