I was concerned about hormones and gaining weight, so I am interested in the paraguard IUD, but reading up on Mirena I haven't seen much about gaining weight and it says it is a very low amount of hormones (and is constant in amount). Can any users share thoughts on Mirena and gaining weight or mood changes?

I did not gain any weight when I switched to Mirena. I also have not had a switch in moods. In fact, I have a much higher sex drive!

I voted never, but my strings actually retreated into my cervix - they are AWOL, which is not that common, so my partner will never feel them. I'm a little worried about how they'll get it out, but for now it's nice!

This is something that I was very concerned about as dh’s ex wife had a Paragard and he did feel the strings with it. However, I have a mirena and we have not had a problem with it. It may be the length at which they are trimmed that affects this. My strings curled up and stayed where they should from day one.
