I HAVE HAD THE MIRENA IN FOR 4 YRS NOW. I LOVE THE CONVENIENCE OF IT BUT I HAVE GAINED ALOT OF WEIGHT IN THE LAST 4 YEARS A TOTAL OF 50 LBS!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN READING THE INSERTS AND HAVE SEEN THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED WEIGHT GAIN, AND I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANY ONE HAS SPOKE WITH A DOCTOR REGARDING THE WEIGHT GAIN?? WHEN I GOT THE CONTRACEPTIVE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS DIDNT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN, BUT I AM WONDERING IF THAT WAS UNTRUE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT THAT I HAVE GAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE EXPEREINCED THE SAME SIDE AFFECT. I AM ANXIOUS TO KNOW IF AFTER ANYONE GOT THIS TAKEN OUT IF THEY LOST WEIGHT RIGHT AWAY?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. AIMEE

YES Aimee, I gained 40 lbs in less than 2 yrs and my doctor refuses to make the connection to Mirena but they know good and well that the hormones in this thing did it to us. I had mine removed in Oct. and just started a no-carb diet to get unstuck ... lost 12 lbs in one week which I know most was water weight from being bloated and swollen for those 2 yrs on Mirena. I am now up to 16 lbs after 3 wks and finally getting rid of the horrible acne scars too. Do yourself a favor and get it out ASAP!!
