I’ve gained 25 lbs in the past year (this is a ton for me). I walk 2 miles a day and in the past month I've started working out again due to this weight gain.
2 years ago I was 119 lbs. and back to 125 lbs last year..... I've always been around 125 to 127 lbs. At the gym by 5AM...run on the treadmill for 45 minutes and today I'm 150 lbs. Yesterday I was 149lbs. and last week 146 lbs. Ugh!!!!
It's been 1 year this month that I had the IUD inserted. Last month I went to the Dr. for chest pains…I came out with acid reflux and sever constipation & now on meds for the rest of my life (or as long as I have the IUD implanted). I stay tired and always, always hungry....I eat things that I would never have a year ago.
I'm going to call my Dr. in the AM and have the IUD removed....... I will let you know how much better I am in the future but honestly, I'm starting to feel better knowing that I'm going to have this removed soon! Hopefully this will result in me having to go off of the meds the Dr. placed me on for the acid reflux and constipation.

MoreThis is a reply to # 855,104First of all a big shout out to you in NC. I'm from Charlotte too. I was actually born and raised in Harrisburg/Concord. Anyway, you sound alot like me. I was always about 115lbs. give or take a couple of pounds. A year after the IUD I was 130 and when I went to have it removed in early march I was nearly 140. This is not like me at all. Now it has been out for 7 weeks and I'm already back down to 132. I feel so much better and also had craved crazy junk food while the IUD was in. But the doctor's swear up and down that the IUD doesn't cause weight gain. I have myself and many many others just like you that would beg to differ!
Good luck to you! Hope you are able to get it out soon. It make such a world of difference and you'll be back to your old self before you know it!

This is a reply to # 855,174On the Mirena website, weight gain is listed as a side effect. I found that along with hypertension, after digging deeply on the website. I gained 21 pounds. It was insidiously disguised for me, however, because I had the Mirena implanted around Thanksgiving. So, I assumed the weight gain was holiday related. But I KEEP gaining and gaining. My friends are amazed because I eat healthy and exercise moderately. A nutritionist friend of mine told me to have that darn thing removed because that's how they fatten up cows, feed 'em hormones. I laughed, but geez. I feel like a heffer! It fluctuates too. Some days I'm not a bloated as others. Some days my clothes fit differently and my rings cut off my cirulation where other days they don't. Now I'm having chest pains and my blood pressure is sky-rocketing. I don't have high blood pressure normally. I am waiting to hear back from my doc to have this thing removed!!!!
