Pregnancy research symptoms and conditions

I got the Mirena inserted in March of 2007. My midwife had warned me of bleeding in the first month but it lasted far longer than that. I also began to notice an increase in facial hair, acne on face, chest and back and a dramatic change in my weight. I have gained 20 lbs since May of 2007. I have been following a strict 1200 calorie diet and haven't been able to lose anything. My midwife has assured me that there is no correlation between the Mirena & the other symptoms so I decided to keep it in but during a routine Pap Smear the brush got tangled in the wire and pulled the IUD out. I'm starting to think someone must have been trying to tell me something. So here I am 2 days later w/o the IUD and I've been having heavy bleeding with lots of clots. I really don't care about the bleeding, I just want to lose the weight!!!
