IUS Mirena and Weight Gain?

Hello.

I've been reading some reviews just about the nasty side effects of Mirena, including acne breakouts and massive counterweight gain.
Would anyone post their experience with Mirena, positive or otherwise? I'm going to the clinic on Friday, and am debating whether it's worth looking into or not.

If your pregnent?

After my third babe was born surrounded by May 2006, I got the Mirena at my 6-week-postpartum call on. I was so excited!

For in the order of 6 months I could occasionally feel the strings in my vagina. It feel like a staple be poking or pinching me from the inside. This often come without word and was almost guaranteed the daylight after I'd had sex. Only lately do I no longer feel any pinching.

In days gone by several months, I have developed fairly the case of fully fledged acne as well as eczema. I am getting medical level skin treatments with little pro tem result, if any.

I am also unable to lose even one pound. I am not overweight, it's self-absorption weight, but my diet is pretty apt and I am exercising more than I ever have contained by my life. Not solitary do I not really lose weight, but I gain a couple of pounds here and nearby. My weight is only stagnant within around a 4 pound range, and I've be on a moderate exercise routine since February.

A friend of mine recently emailed me truism she was also experiencing many side effects but had never attributed them to the Mirena until she started researching online. I initially blew her past its sell-by date, but now that I am thinking nearly it more, I have no other explanation for what I've be experiencing this past year.

I do hold many friends that love their Mirena... although they are considerably overweight and not trying to lose, I wonder if they would even become aware of a few extra pounds. I'm only 5'1" so I perceive every ounce. Since I can't seem to shake these 15 pounds it is markedly burdensome on me.

Since the Mirena does use a synthetic hormone, each individual's recoil to it could be different. While I am not 100% convinced (yet) that my Mirena IUD is losing all of this, I am unequivocally doing my OWN research now. For some idea, healthcare professionals can only see the Mirena through rose colored goggles. As with any hormonal birth control, side effects should seriously be considered. While I be assured that the hormones would be almost entirely localized in my uterus and not affect the rest of my mortal, I am not so sure now.

I know this wasn't anything conclusive for you, but I do hope you will consider adjectives options BEFORE you achieve this costly device. I paid $555 for mine.

Tampons?!!?

I insert Mirenas almost day after day at the health center where on earth I work.
Massive weight gain is not a side effect that have been reported within any of the studies, and I have not have this complaint from any of my patients.
I have not have anyone complain about a increase in acne, any.
The most common complaint is irregular bleeding or spotting during the first 3-6 months, although overall it is typically smaller quantity bleeding than with mundane periods.
After the first 6 months bleeding is smaller quantity frequent and light. Many women hold very little bleeding after 12 months, and some stop completely.

Here is a website which have info on Mirena and all other methods. There's something for everyone!

Help! time problems?

I have the Mirena and LOVE it. My libido is backbone, I've actually LOST 20 lbs (unlike mortal on the pill).

I would recommend it in a second. The with the sole purpose down side is that there is irregular spotting until your body get used to it. It can be up to 6 months of it. I only have about 6 weeks of spotting though. I love that it's forceful immediately, I don't own to remember to take something. It's super powerful, only sterilization is more so. IUDs are the most adjectives form of birth control in the world. Only surrounded by the U.S. are they less adjectives.

My insurance covered mine, they can be expensive though if you have to earnings for it out of pocket.

I think that the women that own a negative response to it are markedly sensitive to hormones and shouldn't be using any hormonal birth control.
