Had mine from early 2003 and gained 5 to 6 stones (14lb = 1 stone). All other three pregnancies I returned to normal weight, but after the last one, the weight piled on. I had no periods which was great, but could not sleep well, felt 'switched off ' often muddling up words and generally feeling on the outside looking in on situations. Had dry scalp, dry skin,stronger smell down below, and had terrible water retention. Had mine out just before Christmas, cant wait for hormones to get out my system. The Mirena coil has ruined the last four years of my life, was bloated with puffy face, huge breasts and stomach. May work for some, but was worst thing I've ever done... Good luck everyone, its terrible we are all going through this.
