I had the same thing -- that pooch around the belly. It was bloating...because when I got it removed, I could literally feel the difference in how my clothes fit the very next day and by 3 weeks later, it was GONE! And, like you mentioned, the bloat got worse over the course of the day. I was one size in the morning and by evening had gone up at least one pant size. I, too, looked the same way I did when I was 5 months pregnant! Good luck to you. Besides the bloat being gone, the best thing is noticing your concentration coming back, headaches going away, etc. Take care.
I got yhe mirena in when my daughter was 7 months old (she is now 21 mos). I remember bleeding a lot during the first month or so and then getting regular periods. No symptoms at all. I started working out and eating really healthy 1200-1500 calories a day, 4, 1 hour spinning classes a week, and 2, 1 hour toning classes a week. I have been doing this for a year now. The only thing I have to show for it is 5 extra pounds, a bigger stomach, and a new size 12 wardrobe. It is gross. I called my dr. this morning to get it taken out!!
