How do you know if your IUD is dislodged ?

Hannah

So I’ve had a paragaurd IUD for about 3.5 years now. Lately I’ve been having a dull pain on one side of my uterus for a few days now. I also got my period early but it’s weird clotted blood that’s not really fresh. It also hasn’t been a lot of blood somewhere in between spotting and an actual period. I don’t usually get cramps and it’s normal for me to have irregular periods. But should I be concerned?
