You will have to check with your doctor.
I can tell you this, you are not supposed to have sex until at least 6 weeks after childbirth, protected or unprotected. Your body needs time to heal, your doctor probably told you this. Go to your doctor.
Good luck.

I've never had an iud, I do have a friend who had one, she said it felt like very bad menstrual cramps for a few days after they put it in, they also recommended that someone go with her so that she wouldn't have to drive home.
Here's some more info on the iud;
