Has anyone been on the mirena IUD? And if
so, how much, if any, weight did you gain?

I got my Mirena put in a little of a year
ago. I absolutely loveeeee it and I did
not gain any weight on it. When looking
at my options weight gain was one side
effect I was trying to avoid at all cost.
So I chose the iud among many other
reasons. My doctor told me weight gain
isn't very common because the hormones
released by Mirena are just contained in
the uterus and don't travel through the
your blood. In which weight gain isn't
very common, although it is listed as one
in the inserts. I wish you luck and if
you have any further questions regarding
Mirena I'd be more than happy to help!

Not to scare you, but I got 20 lbs heavier
and had cramps for seven months straight.
I got it taken out. This doesn't happen to
most people, though.
