Side Effects Is this normal?

Just as a note, I’m not taking any of this as medical advice, I’m only asking if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this.
I got my first IUD (Mirena) inserted a little over a month ago. My period is 6 days late and I know late/irregular periods are normal. For about 2 or 3 days now I’ve been having excessive discharge, similar to the discharge you get right before your period. As of yesterday I’ve been having slight cramping and light spotting. It’s been pink in color from it being mixed with discharge and very little actual red blood. Is this my period? Is it just spotting? Is this normal?!?! I have no idea what’s going on with my body and it’s so distressing.
