HI, About the leg pains when I had the mirena I always had cramps in my legs but now I've been a month since I had the MIrena taking out and I haven't experienced anymore pain. I also got facial hair like a little on top of my lips so all I do is just bleach it. And yeah about the weight, well see I got it put in last year after my c-section and I couldn't lose any of my baby weight cause I felt like I was still pregnant always hungry, dizzy, sleepy and no energy But now tell you the truth without the mirena I have so much energy, it's hard to get to sleep at night!LOL. But I really feel like myself since I took it out. Maybe it just depends how your body takes a foreign object and also the hormones in it, a nurse told me it was a medication that's in the depot shot. But good luck and maybe your body can get used to the Mirena and maybe you should talk more to you doc about it, they really don't explain much but it probably would help asking. Bye Good Luck again hope you feel better..

Thanks for your reply. I called a nurse after I posted. she said wait 2 more months then see. I hope to god my body adjusts as I have no other method to use (tried most, dont get on with others), especially since I am in the uk (more limited than us). So I have to get used to it I guess. I am hoping it will settle as it has a lower hormone dosage, unlike the depo. Will keep close eye on the leg pains.

They need more contraceptives for men this is unfair. Always the woman's problem eh!?

Thanks again
