Okay well, for most tampons you're supposed to change them once every 2-4 hours anyway, so 8 in one day is right about where you should be, if not a little on the heavy side of flow. Iuds are known to increase the heaviness of periods. If you are not experiencing any additional pain or severe discomfort, I wouldn't get too worried unless this goes on for more days than your normal period.
