Mirena coil and weight gain

2 replies

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced weight gain with the Mirena coil? I had it put in 2 and a half years ago and have since gained over a stone in weight. My boobs in particular have got enormous! I've also been struggling with low mood and been on sertraline for that but now I think about it, both the weight gain and low mood started shortly after I had the coil inserted. I put it down to perimenopause but maybe it's actually the coil as I always experienced weight gain and low mood on the pill, too. Is this a common thing?

Are you taking estrogen hrt too? Peri definitely makes boobs grow, my mum went from flat to buxom , her eating was disordered, she would rather not eat than gain a scrap of fat.
Mine boobs have gone from good to bazooma in my 40s. I have gained weight too, bit my life doesn't allow for much excersize.

Yes I'm on HRT and the Mirena is part of that. I exercise loads and stick to under 1500 calories a day but can't seem to shrink my bloody boobs back to normal!
