I am experiencing cramping and bleeding with the use of IUD, is this a temporary side effect?

I had a copper iud inserted three weeks ago and just after two weeks of the insertion I had been experiencing cramps and bleeding. Is this the side effect from copper iud and is this temporary? I am 30 years old, I don’t have STDs and I never had a child. I am worried iud might not work out for me and that I could be pregnant since I have been sexually active with a partner?

Cramping and bleeding are some of the side effects associated with using IUD, other sided effects may also include abdominal pain and spotting. IUD should be use by women who are at least 25 years of age or older and the women should have given birth to at least one child. Also do a monthly check on the string after each menstrual period to be certain the string is the same length as when the device was first initially inserted.
