I've head 4 children have always bounced back (very grateful). after my fourth I didn't want another but my husband did. so birth control was the temporary fix toll we came to a decision. mirena was perfect periods stopped no mood swings.... but then a 1 year later I tried to put on shorts I wore last year and the year before and the year before and they won't go over my thighs.. I'm very upset. I've been the same size since I was about 20 and even bounced back after my last child. haven't changed eating habits . it has to be this. I'm going to get it taken out and I will be back to let you guys know the results...
I have had mine out one week ago - and can confirm immediately feeling better - more energy, less general malaise, more libido and generally I have got my lust for life back. I went to the shop this morning and the owner said to me "wow you're so skinny" - which meant without any change of lifestyle/exercise/eating or drinking patterns - I have noticeably lost weight which is fantastic, I feel 100% better. Now I have more energy and feeling better, I'm hitting the gym again and looking forward to losing the 10kg I put on fast during my 2.5 years with Mirena. I hope this is helpful -
