"in theory, it would have been the perfect contraceptive, but i&#039;m scheduling an appointment to take it out because of rapid weight gain.



with the iud, my periods have been easy to manage, and far in between each other (about 2-3 months). it would last about 3 days, but the flow was very light. pink on the toilet paper, like spotting. 



before mirena, my highest recorded weight was 170 lbs. i ate junk all day and never exercised. after i began working out and eating clean, i dropped down to a stable 130 lbs. after mirena, noticed a slight weight gain, and almost 2 years later, i now weigh 190 lbs!!! i&#039;m running miles every day, eating well and i&#039;m still gaining weight.



i need it out immediately! it&#039;s ruining my self esteem and body image!"
