Hi,
Thanks for the query.
There is possibility of some amount of pelvic infection when intrauterine device is being used.
So you better consult gynecologist, go for physical examination and ultrasound to rule out the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease.
If that possibility is ruled out, then the symptoms could be side effects of the IUD.
You can take symptomatic treatment for it and possibly these symptoms will subside soon.
Take care.
