So how does Mirena make you put on weight?

I had the Mirena in 3 years ago. I've read loads of anecdotal stuff about M & weight gain but how does this work?

I truly struggle to lose weight but my thyroid etc are fine. My (dr)sister says that the only way something hormonal like coil or pill can make you put on weight is if it increases your appetite so you should be able to keep an eye on it anyway but as I have no half full mechanism I find that difficult too!

Am seriously considering having it taken out (for may reasons) but I was just wondering if it is likely to help my weight loss or if I'm kidding myself here!?
