"i&#039;m only rating mirena a three because of what i have felt so far.  i&#039;ve had it for about three weeks now.  i am 35 and a mother to my three year old son. getting it put in was very, very painful and i was so happy that my husband came with me because there would&#039;ve been no way i could drive myself home.  i had a c-section with my son and that is probably the reason why it hurt so much.  in the three weeks i&#039;ve had it, i have felt lots of cramping, bloating and gained three pounds.  i&#039;m not myself, tired and moody.  i&#039;m giving it one more month to decide whether or not to have it removed."
