    IMO it probably won't make that much difference. I have lost weight on birth control and off and can't say it has made much difference for me. I love the Mirena. Have had about a year. Started trying to lose in January and have lost about 45 which is probably pretty average. I'm not having to kill myself to do it either. I have not had any of the other side effects mentioned either other than some minor spotting so maybe I got lucky!

    Several of you mentioned medications for very heavy periods. Have any of you tried LYSTEDA® (tranexamic acid) ? What was your experience? I don't want to take something with more side effects than the condition it's supposed to treat.

    I'm trying to hold out until menopause deals with my fibroid but it's getting increasingly difficult. I'm almost 49. Prometrium, a progesterone, worked for a number of years but has ceased to help reduce bleeding.
