Post Mirena

I've had the Mirena for 6 years now. The first 5 years were fine and I had no issues with it but after getting it changed last May I've gained 10lbs. I initially put this down to a new job and not working out so much but I have stepped my gym visits up again and not a lb shifted. Plus I was constantly bloated and craving food.

My gyn was very understanding and said that she has come across these issues in other patients too so she removed it on Mon night.

The removal was painful but it's over quickly and the pain was gone just as fast. I've had no problems since but I did start to bleed lightly this morning and I know that I have already ovulated (as I'm one of those people who can feel this happen). The bloatedness has gone and people have asked if I've lost weight already (I haven't). My constant hunger has also vanished.

I'll update over the coming weeks.
