Ok well I got the mirena almost three months ago.. i am so bloat...

I know what you mean about 'not even being able to suck it in'. The bloating is infuriating! No amount of exercise or careful eating could shift a single pound when I had the Mirena. I have always been very careful about my diet and exercise (I am quite petite) and very good at making the adjustments needed to stay at a healthy weight. But this all changed when I got the Mirena. Nothing I did seemed to make any difference. Within a couple of months, all my clothes were tight and I lost a sense of attractiveness. My muscle tone and definition reduced markedly. I also craved sweet unhealthy food and really lacked energy. It's like, for some people at least, the Mirena completely mucks up the normal equation about your dietary intake and your metabolism. Very odd. It's now three weeks since removal and I feel fabulous. Its the middle of winter but I'm happy and optimistic, working out three or four times a week and enjoying delicious fresh vegetables, grains, fruit and lots of water, and my muscles are getting firmer and stronger again. The real me is back!!!! Hurrah!

I couldn't agree more I have had the mirena now for 6 months and have been bleeding the whole time. I have also been extremly bloated, and can fly off the handle about nothing which I never felt like that before. When I call my doctor he tells me to just give it time he has prescribed me estrogen pills 2 different times to stop the bleeding and it has not helped what so ever. He also prescribed me a diuretic to help with the bloating, but if I dont take it every day Im back to being extremly bloated. I even took a pregnancy test because my stomach looked like I was 4 months pregnant. I really want this form a birth control to work but I dont know how much longer I can handle the side effects.
