Making sure I'm not pregnant

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I gave birth about a month ago and on Wednesday of last week, I got a hormonal IUD inserted. I then had unprotected sex on Sunday evening. I want to know if the IUD is effective already and if I have any concern of getting pregnant. If I do have a concern of it, can I take a plan b pill without it effecting my IUD?
