I have been losing weight, but from what I have been reading on others forums this is an uncommon side effect, most people are gaining. My appetite is never ferocious no matter how long I go without eating... I use protein shakes and make an effort to put healthy things in my body... it is a little strange, I don't know if the Mirena is causing me to be out of touch with my body, or I'm IN touch with my body and the Mirena has destroyed my appetite.
I have seem a lot of people posting extreme symptoms they have had. I have definitely noticed a decrease of sexual drive-
Other than that, I feel the IUD throbbing quite a bit in my body, no other severe side effects....I just dislike the way it feels, and hope my body will adjust- but if it won't I will- by taking it out.

∙ 12y agoAccording to Mirena's website, only about 5% of users gain weight. But I have heard of many women gaining weight while using Mirena. I myself have gained 10lbs in just a matter of a couple months and I was no more then 120lbs for 5 straight years and I was eating anything I wanted before I got Mirena. I've had mine in for 2 years now and its been a smooth ride until I started gaining this weight all of a sudden. So you may gain weight, and you may not. As for me? I must be in that unlucky 5% that gains weight. If you have more questions you can visit Mirena's main web page for detailed information on such topics.

∙ 10y agoIUDs are not associated with weight change. Use one if you'd like pregnancy protection (or decreased bleeding, with Mirena), but they aren't likely to help with weight complaints.

Weight change will not affect the location of an IUD

The copper IUD does not have systemic effects and does not cause weight gain.
Which IUD is better?
10 year IUD is better, it's less hormonal. The 5 year IUD makes ou gain weight because you rarely get our period with the 5 year IUD

You will gain weight if the amount of energy you take in is more than the amount you use.

yes
Do you have to get your IUD checked if you've lost a lot of weight?
No, weight changes do not affect the IUD or its proper placement. Diaphragms are the method that need a fit-check after significant weight change.

Yes, it takes a while for your own hormones to deal with the loss of the hormones produced by the IUD.
I had the mirena put in last June and since last September I have lost 35 lbs now my boyfriend and I feel the sex is very discomforting and am wondering if this is common?
If you or your partner are having discomfort during sex and you have the IUD, it makes sense to see your health care provider to make sure the IUD is not coming out. Avoid vaginal sex or use a backup method of birth control until you confirm the IUD's location. Weight loss, however, does not increase the chances of the IUD coming out.
Will the use of levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol tablets increase the weight of the females?
I have gained close to 20 lbs in the three months I had the Mirena IUD. I got it removed a month ago and am still experiencing weight gain, despite a health diet and plenty of exercise. It feel like my stomach, breasts, legs and thighs have gained all of this weight.
Can the IUD poke a baby and loose a limb?
no, the iud can't cause limb loss. it should be removed early in pregnancy, though, due to infection risk. talk with your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
You removed your own paragard IUD Went perfectly except you are now 2 days late Is it at all possible you got pregnant That quick Help?
You should never remove your own IUD. You should seek a doctor immediately to test to see if you are pregnant and have your IUD or a new IUD inserted. Removal of an IUD can almost immediately leave you prone to pregnancy.
What is the differnec between a copper IUD and a multi load IUD?
A Multiload IUD is a copper IUD.
