Weight gain mirena coil

[Everestisthebest]

Hi everyone, just looking for some thoughts or if anyone has experienced the same. I had the mirena coil fitted earlier this year around March. This was primarily due to endoemtriosis and adenomyosis. It was fitted during a laparoscopy surgery. Before having the mirena fitted my weight was consistent, I was overweight but it was comfortable for me I was approx 11.5 stone. Since March I have gained 2.5 stone. None of my clothes fit me anymore but the mirena coil has drastically changed my quality of life. No more pelvic pain, no more heavy periods, more energy etc but the weight gain is bothering me so much. I don't want to have it removed but I can't seem to shift this.weight at all. Has anyone experienced the same and managed to lose the weight??

I had similar. It turned out to be under active thyroid. I don't know if that would be helpful to rule out in your case?

I definitely gained weight although not as much as that. I'm not sure if it was directly from the hormones in the mirena or because it made me feel so rubbish and down and my heavy bleeding it was meant to solve actually got heavier, so I did less exercise and probably drank more wine and ate more crap.
