Yes, a coil can migrate in your body

 A Kenyan woman had her IUD disappear only to be discovered embedded far into the Fallopian tube (Shutterstock)

The lady, a mother of one then, had visited the Accident and Emergency Department of a top private hospital in Nairobi complaining of vomiting and abdominal pains.
