Re: Mirena side effects

I\'ve had Mirena going on 2 years now. I had it put in after my second child. It was rough the first couple of months, cramping and bleeding, but my doctor told me to wait it out and it would be worth it. For me, it really is. I\'m surprised at how many side effects I see posted by other women on boards because I have none of these problems. I haven\'t experienced any additional cramping, I only have a very light spotting a couple days a month instead of a period. I don\'t have a reduced sex drive or any depression problems. I think it\'s wonderful not having to worry about taking pills so it works great for me! The only thing I have noticed is that I can\'t lose weight, which I have read is a side effect of progesterone, but I don\'t know if it can also be associated with this. Anyone else have that problem?
