Given you obviously do not want to get pregnant, I am glad you had an IUD so that you could get proactive in contraception! Cramps and bleeding are common after IUD insertion, and as part of taking Plan B. I would say your chances of pregnancy are low as Plan B and IUD placement close to unprotected sex should work, but it is still a slight possibility. Advil/Aleve should help cramps

You took the right actions to prevent pregnancy and have an infinitesimal risk of pregnancy. Your symptoms should disappear. If your bleeding and cramping do not abate in a week of so,it would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
