My experience over Obstetrics "Mirena IUD complications?? Hormone problem??"

I’m 19, have had my IUD since 2018, (my mom made me get birth control at 15 bc she thought I was a tramp lol) and haven’t had a proper menstrual cycle since about 2 months after I got the iud. Cool no period! So ffw to about three months ago, I get my period again. Shit. It didn’t concern me too much though because it was light and not too painful. I got a period the month after. Slightly heavier and definitely more painful, but bearable. The last one (which I started May 1st, just ended like three days ago) was dark and heavy at first, like a normal period pre-iud - but then became bright red and mucus-like (kinda transparent) for the rest of the days. This was the longest and most painful period I have ever had. I was doubled over cramping most nights unable to move or eat or anything without shooting pains in my uterine area. My breasts grew like two cup sizes, I was depressed, bloated out like a visibly pregnant person, sweaty, and fatigued beyond anything I’d ever experienced from a period. Any sexual activity (even gentle sex) would make me bleed again, for like two days after sex. I couldn’t make an appointment to get to my obgyn because of work, but even though it’s over now, I’m still worried as hell. My body feels weird and alien to me right now, and I’m scared I had a miscarriage or have an ectopic pregnancy or something. If anyone has any advice or has experienced anything similar with the iud it would be great info to know. I was a sheltered child and I don’t really know much about my body in that way. Should I take a pregnancy test? or worry about changing out my iud for another one? It’s not due to change until next year. Idk I’m scared of my uterus right now. please help me. Also sorry for the shitty mobile formatting.
