Any of you gals have weight or bleeding issues after the mirena? I had mine put in a month after surgery and not only have i've been spotting, bleeding and cramping, but I have also not loss anything over 2 pounds since! I'm considering having it removed!

I had my mirena before surgery and did not have any issues until I got it changed almost close to my goal weight! I'm now stuck at 141 and can't loose any weight anymore!

[NurseTAB 65]

I had one about a year ago and it migrated up in my uterus and would pinch every time I sat down so I had it taken out. You an have increased bleeding or spotting the first few months then once you have had it you might stop having periods. There was only a 5% chance of weight gain in a study they did an it wasn't conclusive enough to say mirena caused the weight gain.

I heard that once the body gets used to it the weight loss will continue....I guess we will have to wait and see huh? :/ Keep me posted.

I had the copper one before and had it removed for the same reason, plus it was making my bleeding so heavy that I became severely anemic. GYN recommended I try Mirena because it will cause less bleeding but not if it will keep me from losing weight.

GYN told me what you just said about the 5% but I keep seeing complaints about weight gain.

Anyway I will give it some time to see what happens.

Thanks!
