Is bloating with Mirena really a thing

[DrRichardBurke]

or am I imagining it ? As my doctor implied.

Fitted early July. Been bloated more or less since then. It calms down overnight then by early afternoon/ after lunch I have to undo my jeans.

Firstly thought I'd gained weight but I haven't gained enough and it definitely feels distended and uncomfortable most of the day and evening.

I would guess it could be coincidental food issue that struck at the same time.

It's miserable though.

In my experience, doctors often don’t want to hear anything negative about the mirena, so if you do want it removed you may have to be very insistent and assertive.

Bloating is sometimes listed as an occasional side effect, I believe. It can certainly cause weight gain.
