Colitis Started Flaring Up After Inserting Mirena IUD. Would A Regular IUD Been A Better Choice?

I have colitis and have been in remission for over a year. Last week I had a Mirena IUD put in and within a couple of days my colitis started acting up. Can the hormones in the IUD cause my colitis to flare? Would a regular IUD without the hormones have been a better choice?
