I had an IUD inserted in 2018 and got a new one yesterday. How long does it take for it to work, or is it immediately effective since I already had one in?

I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and my vagina has been really itchy lately. I took Plan B on Christmas Day and I was wondering if that could be the problem. The abdominal pain started a week ago and is getting sharper and more painful. The pain is dull. I'm 23 and haven't been taking any medication. I thought I had a yeast infection at first but the discharge has been normal. My urine is yellow and pretty dark.

I have a cut/scrap on my outer vagina that has been present for a week. It stings when I urinate or wipe, but is otherwise stable. I am not using any medications and I am 20 years old. What can I do to heal it and what might have caused it?

I took Plan B around the 9th of January, about 2 weeks before my expected period. I had unprotected sex but the guy didn't finish. I got my period a week later, which was early. I had sex again on the 2nd of February, and I took a pregnancy test on Wednesday, which was negative. My period should have come this past week, but it hasn't. I'm experiencing PMS symptoms and cravings for junk food. Should I see my GP now or wait another week?

My period is 5 days late, I had it on August 13, and my usual cycle is 32 days. I had sex on May 16, and my blood work showed high white blood cells. I also had sore breasts for a few weeks, gained some weight, and have been experiencing back pain and random bruises. Is there any way I could be pregnant, and what could be causing these symptoms?
