Re: Has anyone developed thyroid problems post mirena?

Suffering from Hypothyroidism since having Mirena IUD and have gone from being muscular and slim to gaining weight even tho I still workout 5+ days a week and eat right. The only thing that changed was replacing my IUD. I had gained some weight after the first one but not like this time so didn't contribute it to the Mirena. I also am very very cold when no one else is. So much so it's torture really. Mind fog and fatigue is also a big issue. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue if having the IUD removed will levels go back to normal and symptoms go away? Or will I always have to be on thyroid meds? I've had my dose adjusted twice already and still have all the symptoms. I'm afraid if I have the IUD removed and symptoms don't go away that my heavy periods will come back and will have it removed for nothing then will have the heavy periods on top of thyroid issues.
