Weight gain with hormones
I have been advised due to bleeding that need to have the mirena (intrauterine levonorgestrel device inserted), or otherwise have a hysterectomy. I put on weight when i take the pill, get bad cellulite on my thighs. Has anyone got any feed back re weight gain - re mirena, also if you had a hysterectomy, many thanks.

Now smaller size, clothes to keep?
I am now down to mostly size 10 but some 8 ,and some 12, but 98 percent is 8 - 10,mostly in 10. Going through my clothes shall i hand on the the size 12's or get rid of so can never never put the weight back on?? i am concerned if put on any medication eg the mirena iud- this contains slow release hormones, and when i was on the pill i put on weight on thighs, and cellulite worsened, and my bust cup swells,or shall i just keep some bras? i have dropped a few sizes am 80lbs down.NEVER WANT TO BE FAT AGAIN,although may decide on boob job at some stage.:tongue_smilie:

Thank you for the replies, i was concerned because mine on my waist, had it restitched for second time since insert, the last time stitches internally did not hold, now i notice sometimes under my bandage(had done week ago) and sometimes about 2 inches up. And feels rectangular ---- oh hope hasnt flipped again, and my doc away at the moment.
