My experience : IUD and possible pregnancy?

I need some help and advice (maybe your personal stories as well). Sorry it’s long.. I got a mirena IUD a little over a year ago. It didn’t go well and within the same month, I was back in my docs office getting it removed and put back the same day. It had apparently folding sideways on itself but not yet lodged in anything A little background on my fiancé: He has a 2 year old baby girl. The mother swore she was on an IUD (she had actually taken it out before meeting him and didn’t tell him) so what was suppose to be a one night stand is now an 18+ year deal. After, they broke up and she’s now having another baby with a different guy WHILE USING THE IUD (for real this time) Back to me: a little bit ago, I started getting immensely sharp pains throughout my legs which put me in the ER. They claimed I was fine and it could be pinching my nerve and discharged me. My OBGYN was out on maternal leave (she told me she had the same iud she put in me). I chose to deal with the pain since the DOCTORS said I was fine. A little later, the pain increased. I don’t get periods anymore but will spot on random occasions and have never gotten cramps on my period. With my fiancé, it’s just gotten worse and worse. We were having some fun one day and I had to stop and started balling my eyes out due to the pain (I didn’t even flinch getting the iud inserted. This pain was crazy) this would happen for about two weeks after if we tried to do anything together. and he did everything to try and help. I had felt for my strings and I could now only feel one string and only the tip.(Before I could feel both and a good amount of both) I told him about it and he got me a test just in case a little while later. Both came back negative. So I went about my day and my strings went back to normal after about a month. Today, the strings feel shorter but still there(I know I shouldn’t haven’t waited to go to the gyn but my insurance was having issues and still is and I hate being touched and the doctor I have I trust) Now I’m getting that same pain again in my left side but I haven’t spotted at all in over a month (him and I are extremely rough lol and normally it bleeds after our time so we had to start being gentle and cutting it short) I’m getting pain in only my left side and my left shoulder and sometimes my back. I look extremely bloated all the time. I had gained weight since I couldn’t feel the strings. I use to weigh around 110 and now I’m 127 (I’m not actually gaining too much weight now I just look super bloated. After I weighed myself at 127, I still looked normal and not bloated I still had abs and now I don’t. It has a slight roundness to it) I’m also getting headaches and certain foods don’t taste the same or smell the same. The pain in my left side is a little dull or super intense to where I’m doubled over. but it’s lower in my stomach (top of my leg almost). I just got over being sick so I hoped it was that but I still feel the same. I’m irritable and always sleeping or emotional. I’m so sorry this was so long but if you stayed till the end, any advice or stories are welcome and helpful! I’m not saying “omg I must be pregnant” but I do want to know if anyone else has had these issues and what the results were or how you helped them. Thanks!
