The Mirena was inserted in June 2004. All was good until last Summer. I started to put on weight, I went from a size 8 to a size 12. so I exercised even more and reduced my intake of carbs and fat. In fact I changed my diet, more veg and fruit. I have always had a great metabolism, but I have none at all. I thought it was a tyroid problem, but doing some research, where I seem to have the same symptoms that I had with the Depo, it made sense. Thus I am having it removed in August after my honeymoon. Unfortunately this all happened whilst getting married, so not happy. I would rather put up with periods, then be the fat person I have become. My husband had the snip, so birth control is not a worry. I know it is different for each person, we are all different afterall.. Good luck to all
