    I had the minera for almost 4 years, no problems having it put in or taken out, and loved not getting my period. I will not blame my weight gain on it, as I was about 20 pounds overweight and then added 10 more pounds with each of my 2 pregnancies. HOWEVER - while I had it in it was impossible to lose any weight. My OB said that there are a small percentage of people who have this problem, I truly believe I am one of those people. Low dose or not, there are still hormones in it. I had it taken out a few months ago and have started to lose pounds...finally!

    Good luck, in whatever you decide.
