Just like everyone else i had my mirena place at my 6 weeks appt in august 2008. After gaining 30lbs in 8 weeks i had it removed. I am 5'5" and usually weigh around 120lbs. Here i am 8 months later and i have only lost 8 lbs. I diet and exercise and i am depressed over the weight. I still feel exhausted and yet i wake up after 2 hours and lay there all night. i can't wait until my body is back to normal!
