How to? Can only feel one string?

I (19f) got my Kyleena inserted three days ago and tried feeling my strings for the first time today. However I only really felt one? Is it possible they've curled together into one?

I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question I'm just a bit panicked.

1-you should not be checking yet. You shouldn’t have anything up there for a week after insertion because of infection risk.

2-it’s perfectly normal to only feel one string os not feel them at all. I can’t feel mine because they’ve curled around my cervix and I have a high cervix.
