I've been on the depo shot for 5 years and decided to switch to Mirena. I've had the Mirena for 1 week now and im still having really bad cramps. I went to the doctor and they prescribed me some ibuprofen 600mg every 8 hours. I was just looking up weight gain so that i would know what o expect. However the craving for sweets has already kicked in!!! eating M&Ms as i type. :/

Mirena is very similar to the Depo. But it does have lesser side effects. You should watch your eating cause just like the depo, you can gain weight. The cramps will go away in a week or so...just hang in there:) PS: I replied to this because I did research/spoke with doctors before I was supposed to get the Mirena but could not afford it. (RE:Just in case you find my post about how I hated the depo)
