Mirena and weight gain
| Fri, 10-27-2006 - 5:00pm |
Have had my Mirena IUD for about 2 1/2 years now. I've put on 10 pounds in this period that is very uncharacteristic of me. Despite a rigid workout program, the weight is not coming off. After reading some other boards, I'm hearing that others are attributing weight gain to Mirena. I'm contemplating having it taken out. Wondering if anyone else has experienced weight gain with a Mirena and especially if anyone has had it taken out for this reason.

I have experienced that as well. I had Mirena for a year, and gained 15 to 20 pounds. I am now the proud owner of a ParaGard copper IUD. Hormone FREE!!! No weight gain. I hope to drop this extra weight real soon. Good Luck!
