A member asked:

Had mirena (levonorgestrel) iud inserted 5 days ago, & now am in pain. 5 years ago, i had infection after insertion and feel i have an infection again. is it too soon?

Infection: Infection can occur at any time and you may had it even before Mirena (levonorgestrel) was inserted without knowing it but it just became obvious after the insertion.
