Mirena woes 3 weeks in-persist or remove?

[Ferretbitme]

I’ve had a mirena for 3 weeks (I’m 40’s, put in during polyp removal)

In 3 weeks I’ve gained 6lb, having been the same weight all my adult (non pregnant) life.

I have breast pain to the extent that I yelp when my children hug me.

I am also constipated and irritable

I’ve read that this could persist for 6 months?! Things weren’t awful before. Periods heavy but manageable.

Does anyone have experience of this-will it settle in a few weeks or will it really be months, at this point I feel out of control of my body and just want it out.

Its not agreeing with you. Get it out.
I havent had issues this time but i had issues with injectiom in past

This is what I’m thinking, will call GP on Tuesday, I'm not sure how much persuading tney will need though.

Was it for contraception or hormone issues?

I was told that you have to give it 6 months to settle down. I had mine inserted about 4.5 months ago. I had cramping for about a week and a half, constipation for about two months, bleeding/spotting for about 12 weeks with periods within that (!). No breast pain though. Periods are lighter than the flooding I was having before so I'm going to give it a few more months.

It was put in to control heavy periods, but I was offered it as part of another procedure.

Contraception yes, but could just go back to what I was doing before.

It’s the weight gain that’s alarming me most, I’ve cut right back on intake and the scales are increasing by a couple of lb a week.

I felt awful for a couple of weeks after having one fitted. I had it removed and replaced it with a copper coil; this had no side effects at all

Thats what injection did to.me. Get it out i gained 3 stone by faffing and waiting

Thank you I think I will do!

I think its the progestion can make you hungry (im not a health proffesional)
