Mirena or copper?
Cramping and spotting normal with both. It sounds like you have the Mirena, actually...
Don't stress yet about the spotting and darker blood. Your cycle is heavier, especially at first, with IUDs. Use your common sense - how much is an "excess" to you? Were your periods light in the past (thus this seems like a lot)? Did your gyno do a sonogram to make sure the placement was correct? If so, let her worry about the string. She'll find it when you need it!
I wouldn't necessarily associate the UTI with the IUD - different tracks, after all. However, the extra moisture with the extra bleeding might have done it - make sure you change tampons/pads regularly so that it's not too moist down there.
