    The doctor could most definitely tell if it was still there. You should be able to tell yourself as it should have a 'thread' hanging out your cervix - it's what the doc would use to remove it when you want it removed.

    Does your doctor not know you had one fitted? They should be replaced every couple of years; at least that was what was recommended when I had them.

    The coil is siuated just above the cervix. Generally you will have a period if you're egg has been fertilized by sperm. This causes the uterus lining to come away.

    Normally the uterus lining is constantly disturbed by the coil, but if you conceive the lining is left to develop slightly, and you have a period.

    I don't think there is any risk of the coil falling out, but if you wanted to check then go and see you doctor or sexual health person abut it
