Hi Kharma. Were you on The Pill before getting the Mirena? I seemed to gain weight on The Pill, have been off of it for two months and had my Mirena inserted a week and a half ago. I am feeling really bloated and hoping it will subside. I appreciate your post! Lisa
Hi Kharma,
This is the first article that I have come across that is toughing it out with the Mirena. I just had mines inserted about 1week ago. So far I have been experiencing practically constant cramping (about the same as when on cycle) and slight bloating feeling. I also have been spotting almost daily, but my biggest concern is that I feel tingling in my legs if they are crossed or bent. Almost has if the flow of the blood has thickened. I just contacted my Dr about this and am waiting on a response. At the moment I am thinking I can tough this all out if the symptoms will disappear after 6 months. I like the fact that my appetite has decreased, and my portion size intake has decreased to about half. I have been struggling with my weight and feels this is a good thing. So I thank you for posting this and please keep us updated.....
