I had my mirena put in 6 weeks pp in 2005 everything seem to be fine for almost four years with the exception of an ultrasound which i found out i had almost fifteen cysts on one of my ovarys. For the past three months i jog three miles a day and other cardio and in 12 weeks I have only lost three pounds but quickly gained it back. I even went on nutrisystem and ca not lose the weight i have it scheduled to be removed tomorrow Nov. 7 I hope I am not making a mistake but I to also have severe anxiety and cramps from my cysts in all the main thing is the weight gain since I had it put in have gained over 30 lbs I am just wondering if the weight will come of quickly...

I gained 40 pounds in the 6 months I had it in. I was also trying to lose weight during that entire time! When I got mine taken out, I lost about 15 pounds in 2 weeks, without trying. Then it started taking longer and I had to work to get more weight off. I have had lasting side effects from having the mirena, and it has been even harder to lose the weight as time has gone on. My best advice is to continue doing diet and exercise immediately after taking it out and that will probably help in the long run with losing the weight. Good luck!
