Hello everyone. Has anyone heard of weight loss being associated with IUD failure? My best friend is waiting to hear the results of a pregnancy test. She has had the Mirena IUD for about a year now. I also have the Mirena and love it. She continued with a regular period after insertion and when she was late this month she took a pregnancy test which came back positive. The urine test at the doctor's office was negative so now she's waiting on the blood test results. She's lost about 45 pounds in the past 6 months. I recently heard that it's possible for the IUD to move when there's a large weight loss. Anyone else every heard this? Thanks so much!!!
