Sore Throat, Chills, Bleeding. Have Mirena. Taking Ibuprofen. What Do You Advise?

Thanks for writing to us.
After going through your history, it looks like there is some local trauma, be it a misplaced IUD or rough foreplay. The other problems like the sore throat are just a coincidence. The chills are perhaps due to the sore throat. You can check for the position of the IUD by feeling the threads.
High blood pressure and anemia when uncontrolled, can cause such bleeding episodes.
The IUD itself can cause shortened cycles as you are already experiencing; it can also cause inter-menstrual bleeding. You did not say if you are due for a period now. If that is so, it could be your period only and nothing else. Still, I would ask you to consult your gynecologist for an opinion and a proper appraisal of the situation. You may need a trans-vaginal sonogram to see if the coil is displaced if at all and to what extent.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact if you have further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
