You are supposed to be able to feel two strings when checking for them. If you do not feel them the IUD might have came out or the string have receded into your uterus
To check your IUD string, just put a finger in your vagina and confirm that you can feel the string, you can't feel the plastic of the IUD, and the string does not seem to be noticably longer than the last time you checked.
You would know that your Mrena is being expelled because it would either fall out of your vagina or if you inserted your fingers vaginally you'd be able to feel it sticking out the bottom of your cervix. If concerned about your Mirena being expelled go see your doctor.
If you can see your Mirena strings outside your vagina, you should do the following:Put a finger in yoru vagina. Can you feel the plastic of the IUD? Can you feel the entire "T" shape?

Pregnancy symptoms are not a normal side effect of Mirena removal. Take a pregnancy test.
It is unlikely to get pregnant if the Mirena has moved within the vagina, as long as it is still inside. However, it may be less effective in preventing pregnancy if it is not correctly positioned in the uterus. It is important to see a healthcare provider to ensure the device is placed correctly.
No, you do not have to feel the IUD string all the time.

You're not supposed to "feel" the IUD, but you should be able to feel the strings. If you could find the strings and now can't, consider using emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last five days. Don't rely on the IUD for preventing pregnancy until you've had an exam with your health care provider.
It depends on the size. If it was a small piece of plastic, (such as the size of a nickel or smaller,) you will be fine. If it is a larger piece, if you feel like you are choking, you should get medical help immediately.
