Removal cramping

Removal

Yesterday I (18f) got my IUD removed after about a week of thinking it was misplaced. I had my kyleena for a little more than 3 years, with no issues at all until shortly after my last period. During the 3 days after my period I thought that it was normal post menstrual cramps but by day 4 I wasn’t so sure as I could only feel one string as compared to every other time before I’ve had 2, it is at this point I also had the urge and need to use the bathroom all the time even though my bladder was empty. Took an at home UTI test and it came back positive for lukocites, went to urgent care and they ran all the tests. Negative for everything except white blood cells in a wet mound test. Made an appointment for my gyno asap and waited. I spotted for a little bit during this time. I went to my appointment and luckily I was able to an ultrasound same day, my IUD was sitting mostly in my cervix and was slightly rotated. I had it removed the same day in hopes of my pain going away, and I have an appointment next month to get a new iud.
My question now is, when did the mild discomfort after removal go away for you? What side affects did you notice if any? I’ve seen lots of bad experiences with this iud and I don’t feel the same right now.
Also, could this be expulsion? Or is it more likely that it got snagged or pushed somehow? I have been racking my brains thinking about how it could have happened as my doctors have no idea either!!

Sorry for any typos…
