I have had the mirena in for over 9 months, since then I have gained 26 pounds !!! I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant !! My breasts have gone from a DD to a triple D, even when I was breast feeding for 5 months they never were this big ! I go months without a period and then when I get one its horrrible cramping and the bleeding seems like its never going to go away, sex drive has gone way down & its also painful no matter what position you try !, my midwife put me on prescription diet pills to help me get my weight in control, i couldnt believe it , nothing has changed my diet and excersize are the same, also I have had major mood swings and repeated yeast infections that my doc said are from the mirena. I have mine taken out on Oct. 3rd I cant wait this thing just isnt for me !! To all the others with the same reactions to mirena, after it was taken out did you start to loose weight ?

I am having the Mirena taken out in 6 days and can't wait! I have had mine for 9 weeks and have gained 7 pounds, suffer from severe nipple and breast sensitivity, have night sweats and want to eat constantly! I have very heavy periods and went on this to try to regulate them but found I would much rather have a heavy bleed for 2 days than deal with these constant symptoms. My belly is now so bloated I look like I am 6 months pregnant to boot! Yuck. No more Mirena for me. :[

I had merina implanted almost 4 weeks ago and Im having it removed in 2 weeks.... I have gained an alarming amount of weight,though Im terrified to grt ona scale.. my clothing is extremly tight..all in 4 weeks!!! My bra, panties, Ive gone up a size in my jeans..I might as well be pregnant!! Not to mention the deppression, fatigue, back aches.. I decided to get the implant because of the "low dose of hormones"... Im sensitive to them... I cant wait to have this thing removed..never again will subject my body to senthics.... I hope this is helpfull
