IUD strange black discharge

Hello... this is TMI but I wanted some opinions before I embarrass myself and call my doctor's office. I got the IUD three days ago and I knew I would have spotting but this is different than any spotting I have ever had.

Let me back up and explain how this office visit went down. My doctor's has multiple OBGYN on staff and you don't see the same one every time. This time I had a russian doctor I saw once while I was pregnant.. The OBGYN first tried one iud and it was defective (or user error...). So she had the nurse grab another. Once she inserted that one, she kept saying the string was too long and she didn't trust it (this had me freaked out). She made me walk down the hall to ultrasound with two gowns wrapped around my lower half. In ultrasound, she realized it was low but within the parameters it should be. She wanted it to be perfect so she grabbed a tool and tried pushing it up with looking at the ultrasound. Finally after missing it several times and me in pain, she decided it was fine.

Afterwards, I had a little cramping and bleeding. Now it has turned into no cramping but very, very dark blood (almost black). Could it possibly be my uetern wall she scraped?? Should I be wcorried??
