Mirena weight

I've put on a couple of stone since getting the mirena. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so, how did you go about ignoring the hunger pangs? I feel hungry all the time.

No, I didn’t put on weight on the mirena. However I had it for perimenopause symptoms so have been conscious of middle aged weight gain and was being cautious with diet and exercise to help manage that too.

I have had one for 18 years (obviously they have been changed when due) and my weight has been static.

I had one fitted in January and haven’t gained an ounce. I’m very careful about what I eat though to be fair.
