Ever since I got my IUD, I rarely have red blood when I get my period...it's always the darker color. Your cycle will fluctuate quite a bit for the next few months, it's very normal.

As for a miscarriage...from what I've been told by friends/family who have had them (I suspect I had one several years ago as well) ...they are very painful. If it was a miscarriage...you'd know.

As far as the perforation goes, it usually happens during insertion and rarely after insertion. I haven't read anything about it hurting or anything, so I don't know what to look for as far as signs for a perforated IUD. I'm surprised your doctor trimmed the strings because it is important to feel for them after each period.
