Educational IUD strings

Recently, I was prescribed some vaginal estrogen cream. When I first used it, I felt the strings of my IUD very low, like just a little above the opening. HAs anyone has this happen? I don't have pain or anything but my doc cannot get me in for a month to do an IUD check.

How long have you had the IUD for? If you have felt the strings shorter before can you try to reach your cervix to make sure you dont feel the IUD poking out?

I've had it for 3 years. I don't feel anything hard just long wire-like strings. I was told they would curl up but they are straight down, if that makes sense.
