Hi
I’m sure this has been covered many times before but I’m new to Mumsnet so please bear with me.
I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the Mirena coil and weight gain in all honesty? All the health professionals say there is not evidence that it causes weight gain and that may be true, but if it wasn’t true they wouldn’t say that it causes weight gain because hardly anyone would have it inserted!
I have put on weight since I had it a year ago. I am prepared to acknowledge that this could be due to diet, but I’ve been up and down my whole life and on and off diets my whole life and this is the most I have EVER put on. I have been exercising. The huge up side to the Mirena for me is that my periods have stopped, which was why I went on it in the first place. I don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water and get it taken out if it won’t help my weight.
I should say, weight is a big issue for me and I have never been able to ‘just accept it’
Any thoughts?
