Hello,
Thanks for your query .

Yes, there's a possibility of pregnancy because you were in mid-cycle.
Bleeding can be due to IUD removal.

It would have been good if you would have taken emergency contraceptive drug within the first 72 hours.

Anyways now i would like you to EITHER get serum betaHCG levels on 20/21 august ( as this test is positive after seven days ) OR wait till next cycle.

I hope this will guide you to decide your next step.

And you are always welcome for any further consultation.
God Bless You.
