Mirena?

I had the Mirena before my surgery but had it removed to prevent blood clogging during surgery. I really want it back because I'm sick of these monthly menstrual cycles. But am afraid I will gain weight because the Mirena deals with your hormones or something like that.

I decided to go back on BC pills and not have another mirena. I think that was a factor in my weight gain after my pregnancy.

I think you are absolutely right. I had major hormone problems before surgery and my doctors were saying with all the weight I'd gain my hormones were way off balance. By this time, I already had the Mirena about three years. So In the back of my brain I was feeling like the Mirena was contributing to the weight but didn't want to believe it because I enjoyed not having a cycle.

There is a form of Mirena that does not use hormones. Might be worth looking into it.

Paraguard is a ten year no hormone iud. Many women love it. I have the nexplanon which is a implant that is inserted into your arm and i love it.

After doing some research here and the other forum, I decided on the Nexplanon. I am feeling much more comfortable with having a foreign object in my arm rather than my vagina. It's a very personal choice and definitely varies by individual and what fits well for them. My only complaint with the implant is the pizza face and the never ending PMS during the first few months. Hormones are 10x more amplified with both RNY and new BC. Craaaazzzyy!

I wasn't comfortable with having a foreign object implanted in me anywhere. I decided to go with Nuvaring and I can remove it at any time. I'm very happy with it. But everyone is different, that's why there are so many choices.

Just be careful with the pill. We have absorbency issues with the pouch and I know many surgeons do not recommend the pill because of that. It's very iffy.

I had the mirena installed this morning! Sucked going in, some dull cramps afterwards and light bleeding but I'm feeling good now and bleeding has almost stopped. Good luck!

Mirena murdered my orgasms!!! Made em super easy to have but they were so wimpy it wasn't worth the effort. My Gyn thought I was nuts! I kept it 10 months and as soon as it was gone the big O was back to normal. Totally weird! Leave it to me to have something freaky! Good luck!!!!

@SoccerMomma, ....That's funny!!!! It didn't have much affect on my sex life but everyone is different. I know you said it's out but is that before or after surgery?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
