I too decided to have the mirena inserted on November 5th. I am a 32 year old divorced mother of one 10yr old boy. I have had years of heavy bleeding extreme PMS and cysts and fibroids. After years of birth control pills my Gyno suggested the Mirena. Like many of you I thought the procedure was beyond easy, it felts almost as painful as childbirth again! I had serve cramping and moderate bleeding afterward. My Gyno was concerned it was not positioned correctly, So he ordered a ultrasound right then and it came back fine , position good and no peforated uterus, thank goodness! I am still having some of the same side effects as so of you almost a week later. The bleeding has gotten lighter, the bloating is there and tiredness . Now I have the migraines which suck. However I go back in a month to recheck so I will give it til then and decide. All and all so far not as bad as some of the birth control I have in thepast!
