Never had any problems with my mirena and i'm very surprised to r...

I just had the Mirena removed today with mixed feelings. I had it removed because in the 10 months I had it, I ganed about 10 pounds and have had random cramping and permanent bloating. I kept dieting and exercising saying that if that worked, I'd keep the Mirena in. Well, after 7 weeks of that, I lost about .75 pounds! Ridiculous. On the other hand I am definitely going to miss not having periods and not having to worry about getting pregnant. For me personally, I just couldn't deal with the weight gain. I understand this can be an awesome product for most women who don't have any side effects. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those lucky ones.
I will keep you posted on any weight loss! BTW, the removal didn't hurt at all and my OB/GYN was quite nice about taking it out.
