Sorry - this gets a little graphic...
I had an IUD put in this week and have been having a lot of discharge since.

You didn’t say which IUD you are using, but neither of the 2 IUDs in general use in the U.S. list ovulation suppression as one of their several means of contraception. The ParaGard Copper-T IUD does not prevent ovulation at all and with The Mirena a study showed at least 45% of cycles were ovulatory at one year and 75% after 4 years. There are a lot of things in the abdomen that could be giving you twinges other than ovulation. However, it seems to me that what you are experiencing might just be pain associated with ovulation. Even if it is you should be well protected from pregnancy. IUDs are a very effective means of contraception.
Good luck
