Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
These symptoms could be side effects of Mirena or Depo.It is unlikely that you could be pregnant.Did you get the IUD removed by a Healthcare Professional? Did you make sure there was no trauma during this ?
I advise you to visit your Gynecologist and get evaluated.Bleeding can happen if there is slight trauma or due to hormonal changes .You would need hormonal pills to control the same.
Take care.
