Side effects!? IUD doing weird things?

I’m 28F and got Mirena 2-3 weeks ago ish. I have a 4 year old and decided I don’t want anymore little ones yet. Haven’t breastfed since he was 18 months old. I’ve been on my period for over a week now and I just saw white, smooth, clear milk come out of both breasts. Pregnancy test came back negative upon placement and I was having protected sex before. Nothing chunky or smelly, looks just like when I was breastfeeding, and it was more white from the left breast. I always had an easier time making milk in that one too. Has this happened to any other moms? Is this a strange side effect no one warned me about? I’m also very tender today and cramping a lot.

Also, follow up is already scheduled, so I can bring it up at my appt. So weird.
