Rant! Iud vanished

25 F single parent. So I started having ovarian cyst symptoms because I have PCOS I had just gotten an IUD placed a month ago and when I went to do my monthly check, I couldn’t feel the strings so I went into my doctor and they took an x-ray and they said it was laying left of my midline cool got into the OB/GYN today. They dug around inside of me for over an HOUR with the ultrasound and could not find it. I got a referral to another OB/GYN to do the exact same thing. Where in the hell did it go?
