I just joined this blog. I looked up on the internet some side effects of mirena because I have had rapid weight gain and Acne problems when I have usually very clear skin. I also have an decreased libido. This is my dilema...I am a mother of two and don't see anymore children in my future, but not totally out of the question. I am currently in nursing school and is in no situation to have another baby. I thought this would be a good fix. I was on Nuva ring which was great but i had no libido and hypertension. I am working on losing weight and feel it's an up hill battle when the IUC is what is making me gain the weight but I can't afford to not take b-control. Pills make me nauseated severly and the nuva ring caused me to have the other symptoms I described. Any advice?

VCF film you can look it up online and get a free sample. its seems to be the safest thing it disolves when wet. foam was fun but is rarely used now because of to much friction caused rashes. i'm sure people would choose a possibke rash over another child or std. - Re: rapid weight gain after mirena i...

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,187,774Even thought I am not a fan of the IUD at all at this point, have you considered the Paraguard ? We are in the same boat as you. We are sure we are done but not 100% positive. We have been using NFP since 3/07 and not having any issues. I track my cycles on
http://www.mymonthlycycles.com
It took me a few months after Mirena to have my cycles back to normal. They tell me when I will be fertile and I increase it by 2 days before and 2-3 days after. Just to be safe :) We use condoms during fertile times only. Sometimes I avoid intercourse all together during that week. So far so good !- Re: rapid weight gain after mirena i... Brayden03

This is a reply to # 1,188,105Thanks for the advice. I have not tried the paraguard. not really sure what that is. I can look it up though. I have tried the family planning deal and it did work for me for many years, I just didn't want to take any chances right now while I am in school. Although another baby is not in our near future if it happens we would adapt and it would be happy news but for now we are doing all we can preventing it. My body has always reacted in a weird way to b-control. Someone else said to just give it time, but time is not something extra I have. I have been trying to loose weight for my health and it's caused some tension in my marriage (gaining weight that is) so for this mirena to add weight on to me is not a good thing. I also fell crampy all the time which usually puts me in a bad mood. I just feel that I am not being the person I can be with all my hormones out of wack. This IUC was very expensive and I didn't want to give up on it just yet. I think I am going to try and increase my workouts and maybe that will help.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,188,166Good luck, but I wouldn't count on anything getting any better with time. I've always been an active person and eat sensibly, but two months after the iud I started putting on weight and thinking it was holiday food related, watched more carefully and stepped up my workouts, the weight just kept creeping up. After I got it out, I stopped gaining and lost 2 pounds right away (probably water weight) and have worked like a dog for the last few months to lose another 6 or so. I don't do crash diets, 'cause I know the weight will just come right back on if I eat normal, so I've been working out more (an hour to an hour and a half most days) and it's been slow going.
The paragaurd is the copper iud, and might be the way to go for you, it doesn't have any hormones, which don't seem to agree with you. Please, get it out. If money is a concern, contact Bayer, maybe you can get a partial refund on your expenses.
I feel like this thing destroyed my physical and emotional well being, and it's worth the cost to get that back. The thing that ticks me off the most about having this thing is the months of my life lost being miserable. Don't lose any more precious time! - Re: rapid weight gain after mirena i... wintergirl

This is a reply to # 1,188,166I do understand how you feel about not wanting to give up on it due to the cost. But in the end, that the cost of getting rid of it is well worth it.
I had the copper IUD for years with no hormonal problems (I did have some cramping in the first few months). Overall, I really loved my copper IUD. It was the best birth control I ever used. I would recommend it again.
If you read all of the posts on this board, I think you will see that the Mirena adventure doesn't get better for most.
All the best to you. - Re: rapid weight gain after mirena i... wintergirl

This is a reply to # 1,187,774I recently posted a question asking about Vaginal contraceptive film and foam and the sponge as non hormonal contraceptives and googled them and such and most feedback I got said that they are all really unreliable and are less than 50% effective for women who have a lready had children. The paraguard and the diaphram are the most reliable forms of non-hormonal BC, I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from women who have used the diaphram. You can insert it and use it multiple times a day for spontaneous play. You do need to have it fitted, but you may be able to have the Mirena removed and be fitted at one appointment. Check into it. For weightloss, I know a few women who have had good luck with weight watchers. They bring their kids to the weigh in and meetings. They found it was easier to lose with support and accountability. And it gives them somenone other than their partners to talk about their weight gain with and feel less judged.
