Weightloss Slow Due To Mirena Iud



Recommended Posts

I just recently had mine replaced and I had to wait a week prior to gettin the new one and I noticed during that week I lost the most weight in one week ever. Now that I have gotten it replaced I noticed that my weightloss has slowed Down. I kno the alternative is pregnancy and that wud cause way more weight gain but I have to say that this is so annoying

I had my mirena for 2 years, but It was removed about two years ago because i started gaining some weight, and was nearly impossible to lose no matter what super diet I tried. ..... as soon as it was out of my body, the weight started coming off! crazy!

I hadn't thought about this...but you may have a good point! I've had my iud for almost 4 years...and my weight loss has been slow...(about 34 pounds in 2 months). I recently got my period, after going almost 4 years without one! I have no idea what's going on. Maybe my slow weight loss is connected to my mirena.

So many complications due to my Mirena. Weight gain is one. Hopefully it will be out come this Thursday and then onto a tubal.

My doctor told me I have to get an IUD. Weight gain worries me but my biggest concern is having it put in. I'm very big and had a c-section, I read it is harder to insert if a woman hasn't had a vaginal delivery. Anyone have difficulties?

Getting it done was awkward and painful. Not the worst thing ever, but not the highlight in my life either! I was a c-section also. Having trouble getting it removed. Plus I'm dealing with side effects. Tubal, here I come.

That's awesome! I'm glad it is working out so well for you. It just goes to show, we're not cookie cutter ppl. I wish my experience had been better. I know those who love it... LOVE it! :-)

A day at Same Day surgery and I am Mirena free!!! Never again! Now I'm hoping the lbs will come off faster so I can lower my weight/BMI preop.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
