I got a Mirena IUD placed in December and so far I love it. The only thing I don't love is that I am steadily gaining weight. I have gained almost 20 lbs since the placement. I have not changed my diet, my level of exercise, or anything else that would contribute to this. I wanted to see if any of you had experienced a similar phenomenon after getting an IUD.

I had a Mirena for 4 years and I gained 20-30 pounds. I couldn't lose it - I watched my diet and worked out daily for a couple months straight and didn't lose any weight. I had it taken out in September of last year and have still stayed at the same weight. I also still haven't gotten my period so I feel like the IUD has messed me up. I am pre-menopausal so that could be contributing but I got frustrated with my OB/GYN for saying that Mirena's don't cause weight gain when it started after I got the IUD.

Got a Mirena in Feb and I've lost 7% of my body weight since then, but then again, I am intentionally working on portion control and intermittent fasting. I've lost 10% since Jan 1, so, that was my commitment before Mirena and after.
