Hi nickyfromdorset!

Welcome to the iVillage's U.S. birth control board!

We have loads of members posting here who love their Mirena IUDs. I don't remember weight being an issue with any Mirena users. Since the amount of progestin released is so low I think any possibility of weight gain caused by Mirena would be very small.

You might want to repost your question in the top (Birth Control Q and A) folder where more members will see it and share their experiences. Down here in Off topic folder there isn't as much traffic.

Thanks for stopping by If you have more questions please ask. Come back and let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

I've had the merina for four months now and have not gained any weight. In fact, I love it!
