"i got the mirena in jan 2015 and had remove it by july 2015. as a contraceptive it worked. i used to be on the pill and i put on 20kg with it. i came off it and got the mirena and couldn&#039;t lose weight whilst on it. so although i didn&#039;t put weight on whilst on mirena, i feel like if i hadn&#039;t taken the pill before, the mirena prob would&#039;ve been the culprit to make me put on weight. wouldn&#039;t recommend it to anyone, don&#039;t do it.



the side effects i experienced:

- spotting everyday/random periods completely irregular overall

- bad headaches

- extremely bloated

- couldn&#039;t lose weight 

- moodiness and emotional 

- periods never went back to normal after mirena- they&#039;ve been irregular for past year despite being hormone free!"
