I am soooo glad I found this website. I had mine inserted in March of 2006. I was so uncomfortable for about three months after. I swear I could feel it bonking around in there and nearly had it removed then. Since the insertion, I have been slowly gaining weight - with a majority of it in the past year. I was down to my fighting weight in December of 2006 and have packed on nearly 20 since then. The odd thing is - I eat a very healthy diet and I exercise. I'm a massage therapist, so I am always busy and on my feet. There is NO reason for the weight gain. My ring size is smaller than before I got the device inseted, my legs are slim and most of the weight is around my middle which scares the heck out of me for health reasons. I have NEVER had weight issues before the Mirena. I have struggled with depression and severe anxiety, I have hair growing on my face, I have no energy, a low sex drive, I have tingling in my hands and feet, I'm moody most of the time, and now I think I am starting to get ovarian cysts. I was doubled over in pain about two weeks ago and that is what prompted me to do some research. I'm making an appointment to have the Mirena removed.
