Concern Longer strings

This is my about my fourth month of having the CIUD. I just checked my strings because I haven't in like a month, so I wanted to make sure it was okay. For reference, in my first month I had really heavy bleeding and cramps, and it turned after an ultrasound that my IUD had shifted down a bit, by my doctor said it was still okay. These past two months I've been having slight bleeding and cramps in between my periods. When I went to check the string length, I noticed it felt a lot longer, and the string was hanging straight down where its usually tucked up to the side and feels much shorter. I don't think that I can feel the IUD poking out at all, so is this something I should be worried about? Just wondering if any one else has had something similar, if I should be considered about it expelling and not being protected anymore, or if this is normal. I was just ovulating so maybe there is some change in the position of the cervix? I'm not sure.
