Did you lose weight after having the Mirena taken out?

Google Mirena and Thryoid function.... I posted one link, there are hundreds out there!
Did you keep scrolling down the link I provided and read all the interactions listed? Including weigh gain. I know lots of people that had thyroid problems for years before they got tested and found out that was the problem.1 -

I would be glad to read any peer-reviewed studies linking the Mirena with changes in thyroid function. I am not going to read Yahoo questions and blog/forum posts.0 -
Terreidh: I'm sorry to hear about your story. My heart goes out to you and I will pray you can return back to normal. You probably already took alot of tests, but it's true, test your thyroid. I think Mirena causes thyroid problems. Also maybe you need to take something natural to help build your natural progesterone back since Mirena messes with hormones. Maybe you already looked into all of this, but just wanted to put that out there.
No it doesn't mess with your thyroid.
Mirena is a low dose BC method and has less hormones released than the pill.

I'm sorry to tell you my dear, but yes the Mirena does mess with thyroid function....

No it doesn't...I have read the trials on Mirena and no where is thyroid issues cited as a side effect

Anything you site was a blog or what that person felt happened with no proof
I am not putting anyone down but I won't let you spread misinformation either.
And if you were familiar with clinical trials you would know that anyone participating is told to report anything out of the ordinary to the researchers. Thyroid conditions are not listed in the side effects of almost 100k women who participated in the trials.
So weight gain during clinical trials of mirena mean nothing esp when it was less than 4% and they were not on a calorie controlled diet. As well Mirena actually has less hormones than oral contraception so if women were going to be affected by Mirena they would be affected by all BC that has hormones.0 -
Regarding Thyroid issues. I saw some people had indirect thyroid issues after taking Mirena form reading blogs. My point was to check your thyroid just in case. The end.0

I just wanted to add to this and say that the release of hormones by Mirena is localized to the uterus anyway, unlike birth control pills. I think if more people understood how Mirena actually works, they wouldn't blame it for problems that have no way of interacting with the Mirena.
Seriously, did anyone take the time to read this when they got it put in?

mine would be peer reviewed and you can tell that by the nih.gov
and you don't contact researchers unless you are part of the trial...and I live in Canada too...my ob/gyn (my aunt) wouldn't give me anything that would harm me.
The mis-information is about it causing thyroid issues it doesn't and if you read the clinical trials you would be better equipped to add helpful information to this thread. Such as 98000 women participated in them and only about 4200 reported weight gain therefore it HAS to be listed as a side effect. Anything unusual is reported and listed..and no where on any of the medical lit for MIrena is thyroid issues mentioned...hence out of the 98000 trial participants in two different trials had issues with the thyroid.
I am not saying there are no side effects there are...I just didn't suffer from most. I did however stop having a cycle...and there was some breast tenderness etc...my weight gain was from me eating too much...how do I know that..cause when I stopped I lost weight.
@Jcast...no they don't read it nor do they read any lit pertaining to the trials just blogs and posts on forums to "confirm" what they think. Personal opinions are not facts....or they would also know that Mirena releases I believe 20 units of hormones locally where the pill releases 150 units throughout the body....and that is a day...0 -
Oh my.. I am planing for it, It is a good thing I have not decided yet. and thanks for this post I will continue the natural diet0

Seriously!! Regarding the hormones though, I have better news. 20 mcg, or 0.02 mg, are released by Mirena initially, and this amount decreases by about 50% over the 5 years. And remember we're talking about release into the uterus, so if any of it makes it into the bloodstream it's only a fraction of those 0.02 mg.
In contrast, a typical low dosage birth control pills releases 0.180 mg of hormones into the bloodstream on the lower dosage days. That's a huge, huge difference.
Here are my sources for anyone who still thinks Mirena makes you hormonal:

I may not have a medical degree, but here is my peer review....this little piece of hormonal coated plastic almost ruined my life! I have always been a positive, happy person and suddenly I was suffering from depression. Then one day I had a moment when I was driving home from work on the highway and I had a sudden urge to turn my truck in front of a semi. I drove home and sat in my truck and cried. That is the moment I started to question what was wrong...the only thing I could come up with was the Mirena. I started research when that night and what I found shocked me!
Since removal, my life has turned around 180 degrees. I am sleeping at night, my hair stopped falling out, my skin cleared up, my breasts stopped aching, my sex drive came back, I have more energy, my sense of humor came back and I don't look and feel like I am 6 months pregnant. I started to care about my life, my house, my kids and my friends again. Weight gain is only a small part of the problem I had with this thing.
Everything was great in my life before Mirena, absolutely sucked for the 19 months I had it in, and then improved 100% when I removed it....coincidence? I think not! I did love the no periods for the 17 months, I enjoyed that perk.
If you honestly think that pharmaceutical companies are looking out for your best interests, I am truly saddened for you. I have a friend who worked as a rep for a pharmaceutical company and she could tell you stories about drugs that would never let you sleep at night.
To those of you defending this thing...I am honestly happy that you have not had any problems with it. I wouldn't wish the bad parts on my worst enemy. But you have to realize that you are not in the majority. I hope that you never suffer any side effects or long term damage from it! I just found out a friend of mine had it in for years before they decided to have kids. They just decided about a year ago to take it out and start trying. It had perforated her uterus and now the doctors think that she will never be able to have children of their own. My heart is breaking for them.
To those of you who have had problems with the Mirena, you aren't crazy and you aren't alone!
Peace and love to all of you.1 -

My major problem with Mirena was MAJOR stomach Bloating! It stretched out so much and it made me feel like I ate a HUGE Turkey dinner. I looked 3 months pregnant! It was very uncomfortable. So I would like to say that the Bloating DID finally go down about 4 weeks after I got it removed, just to give you guys some hope that had this same issue. It took some time, but it went away.1

If you like the IUD get the non hormonal ten year copper old school one, it is the added hormones in Mirena that **** with you.
There is no need to add hormones to an IUD as they are as effective without them.
I had the non hormal IUD for many years and not one single problem other than heavier periods.
The hormones in BC really **** with some women, my sister gained a ton of weight on hormonal BC.
I agree they can cause issues I have never disputed that. What I do dispute is the assertion that they cause thyroid issues and more than lets say 15lbs of weight gain. They don't.
Mirena is not for everyone but to blame it for gaining 50+lbs is just well...ludacris...
AS for the non hormonal one I personally couldn't use it...the reason I need the hormones is to stop my cycle...if not I can't leave the house, I become anemic and have major issues to the point where surgery was the next step.
@ carmenstop1 no one is disputing your personal symptoms unless you are claiming it caused 25+lbs in weight gain. It is unfortunate that you had that serious of an issue but your doctor should have been monitoring you all along and if they weren't then they are at fault for not catching it earlier. Those of us with good experiences actually are in the majority. AS for your friend again that's too bad but any item inserted in a womans uterus and left there has that chance including the old copper T iud and the paraguard....but there are maybe what....on these boards 400 (and I am being generous) stories of women who have blamed it for weight gain and maybe 10 who have had worse symtoms such as yourself...correlate that outwards and yah no...Mirena has a good track record...
As you note in my last post I said Yes there are side effects but thyroid issues is not one of them. But mostly these threads are about weight gain...which is why I am here to post. Mirena can cause some weight gain but for most of these ladies that isn't the reason they are 25+ lbs over weight...it is because they are consuming too much food.0 -
There's a very informative site with lots of information on how to lose weight and get rid of the mirena iud side effects and find other natural birth control options. Check out: http://mirenadetox.com/mirena-weight-gain/ Her detox has also been immensely helpful to my recovery and I seriously recommend it1

Hope this helps!

All i can say that the weight gain has stopped after i had taken the mirena out but the other symptoms are still here0

do you think that might be because one of the side effects of Mirena is "increased appetite" as well..and you aren't eating as much now...
Even if you are active if you don't log accurately which means weighing solids measuring liquids you don't know if you are in a deficit.
And chances are your diary was open we could see the issue.0 -
Mirena didn't increase my appetite. The chances are that the extra hormones that are supposed to stay local got in to the blood stream. My doctor told me that it takes about 6 month to a year for synthetic progesterone to leave the body.I am a nurse and done my research on this topic.1
-
I highly feel that Mirena caused my bloating and weight gain. I did not change my diet. In fact I eventually went on a gluten and dairy free diet for 3 weeks and still didn't lose the bloating or weight. I completely believe that it messes with your natural progesterone making you gain weight and have other symptoms related to a pregnant lady or menopausal lady. It even made me moody and snappy. Some people are just fine on Mirena (like my cousin). This message board is a group where us that do have issues can vent and get help and support from each other.0
-
So Sezxy Stef, you have no problem admitting that the Mirena causes all sorts of hormonal imbalances, makes your hair fall out, causes depression, bad skin problems, sore boobs, no sex drive...and on and on, but you have a problem with the weight gain??? Why exactly? You do realize that one of the ways that it works is that it tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant. When I was pregnant, I gained a lot of weight!
I read on another post where you were exulting the wonders of Mirena that you don't even have one.... you had it removed because you had problems with it! Do you own shares in the company or what exactly is your end game in defending this thing?
As for the majority/minority, I am going to disagree with you again, I have had no less than 9 private messages or friend requests from ladies that read my post and identified with my problems, none of them have commented on this post. Not everyone wants to put their problems out in public, especially when there are people like you that are judging and making them sound crazy for blaming this thing for their issues. There are more forums than Myfitnesspal on the internet, google "problem with Mirena" and see how many hundreds/thousands of posts are out there from other women, Sparkpeople has a really good discussion going on about it....but of course it isn't peer reviewed and can't be believed by ordinary people...right?0 -
I had my Mirena for 4 years. Had it removed in February 2014 because during those 4 years I was basically spotting 3 weeks out of every month.
It had already started embedding in my uterine wall when he removed it. Took a very strong tug to get the thing out. So hard it made me sick to my stomach and he almost got kicked in the face.
The spotting stopped immediately. I had my first normal period about 2 weeks later. After that, I only bled for 4 hours one day out of the months of March-June. July I had a normal period. Im having a slow weight loss since starting back with calorie counting on July 5 (well slower than I have in the past) but I cannot confirm that Mirena is to blame.0 -

Actually what I said was that yes it can have side effects I never mentioned which ones I believed were caused by the actual IUD.
What I did say was that during clinical trials any unusal things that happen HAVE to be reported to the trial lead and then noted as a side effect
And no it doesn't trick your body into believing it's pregnant it does the following:
Thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering your uterus
Inhibits sperm from reaching or fertilizing your egg
Thins the lining of your uterus
As for my Mirena I had it for 5 years and had another inserted due to the fact I loved it so much. I did not have it removed...it actually fell out and I would have another one now but the doctor wanted me on Depo for now.
My end game is to educate. Why because apparently lots of women didn't read up on it prior to it's use. In the information it actually says not to use it if you have had issues with depression. And if you personally didn't know how it worked you didn't educate yourself either...and excuse me but if you are going to put something in your body you should educate yourself on it first.
Again minority..there are over a million users on this site and you had maybe 10 send notes...sounds like a minority to me.
I am not judging my statements are factual where as yours are not...ie thyroid issues caused by mirena, how it works and that fact I had mine removed...all false statements.
As for blogs and other posts no they are not peer reviewed studies and correlation does not mean causation.
I have agreed there are side effects, I have agreed it is not good for all women it was perfect for me and a lot of others, more than not actually....
But what I wont agree with is that is causes 50lbs in weight gain...nor will I agree it causes thyroid issues. Nor will I agree that if you are logging accurately and consistently that you "CAN"T" lose weight on it, that is totally not true.
It can cause some weight gain mainly due to water retention...hence the "bloat" lots of women report.
But you hate it I get that...it wasn't for you...I feel bad...but what you can't see is the other side...the side where a lot of women have great experiences with it and it does good take me for example, it prevented my anemia, it saved my teeth and basically kept me from having a child I didn't want, prevented me from being bound to the house due to very heavy periods that left me weak and never mind the fact that my PMS has totally disappeared...oh and I lost 25lbs using it.
That is the sad part here....you speak of judging...hmmm. At least I can admit it's not for some women all you want to do is bash and condem and not see the other side nor educate yourself.
@angerosed actually no this is not a place for us that do have issues can vent and get help and support from each other, this is an open forum where a question was asked about if anyone lost weight after Mirena was taken out...if you want a place to vent and support each other without dissenting views create a private group and invite some women to it otherwise there will be opposing opinions and people telling those that think it causes 25+ weight gain it doesn't.0 -

Oh so I am a "Poopie Troll" because I disagreed with you and proved your information false through peer reviewed clinical studies...
and mean...wow...maybe you need to start a mean people thread and site this as your example.
Per your link“How can I dissect what she said and take **** out of context and write a mean and nasty comment? Maybe I can even attack her personally.”
1. I did not take what you said out of context and write a mean nasty comment...if I had done that my post would have said something like "are you really that ignorant?" ...nor did I attack you personally. I believe that is what you just did to me by referencig me as a "Poopie Troll"But sometimes I think people like you don’t stop to think, “Would I say this to another person if they were standing right in front of me?”
Yes I would say it to you in person, because what I said wasn't mean nor did it have a mean intent, more of an educational thing and hoping perhaps instead of insisting that you are right that there could be another side...but no you couldn't do that...I’m not naive. I know I put my words on the Internet and I should expect people to disagree with them sometimes. And you’re allowed to disagree. Disagree all you F'ing want. But it’s time for the trolls/bullies/high schoolers/middle schoolers/mean mommies/everyone to stop and think, “There is a person sitting on the other side of this screen. Would I say this to their face if they were standing right in front of me?”
as for this part perhaps you need to take a step back and look at the advice...
At no time did I resort to name calling or being mean and if you can show me the post where I did I will apologize profusely...but I can guarantee this...your last post is exactly what is above...would you call me a troll to my face or any other name??? probably not so that being said...

Sezxy Stef, obviously you have your opinion, and I have mine. You are defending your opinion and I am defending mine. You seem determined to convince people there are no side effects. I disagree. Why, because I suffered through them!
It would be like you saying you have never had cancer, but that I am crazy because I do and that I think my hair is falling out because of the chemo! You haven’t experienced it, you can’t judge it! You keep saying that there is no way this is causing problems…who isn’t trying to see the other side?
I am not being judgmental, and I have not bashed anyone. I have been called a dummy and a flamer on this thread and I have not thrown any names out at anyone else! I posted a topic about name calling and bullying done behind a keyboard, I did not personally call you a name! If you take it personally, then maybe you have a guilty conscience?
Kettle meet Pot!

wow...denial much...as for you being called a name wasn't by me otherwise you would have it quote so I would apologize.
And again I am not determined to convince people that there are no side effects...holy moly woman
a quote from meActually what I said was that yes it can have side effects ....
and I never said I didn't suffer from them ever...I had the bloat, the lactation and the hair falling out...but those are minor compare to what I was suffering from before...so they weren't a big deal to me...not enough to take it out or get all emotional with strangers who disagreed with me and call them names etc.
You aren't trying to see the other side...that it does women good...you can't even accept that it did me good and prevented a lot of issues for me personally.
And if you don't enjoy cutting people down then don't do it...don't call names, don't infer that they are a "Poopie Troll" don't spread misinformation on a public forum and expect people to not correct you...
Go enjoy your "happy" life because apparently this particular topic gets you angry enough to call names etc..
I do hope you eventually realize that your opinion isn't the end all to be all and can accept that...

SezxyStef: I disagree with you 100%. I believe Mirena does cause weight gain in a good handful of women, even without changing diets. It messes with your hormones. It's like saying that a pregnant does not cause weight gain. When your hormones are off, this happens even when you try to tweak your diet. You're opinions were valued and eye opening. You have your opinion and we have ours. You can continue to debate but the fact is that we will continue to disagree, so we should just leave it at that. The end.0

I got the Meriana put in about 4 years ago, the first 6 months sucked. My first few periods I ended up in the ER with severe stomach cramps. I stuck with it and love it so far.. I did go for a pap last year and the OBGYN said mine is sitting a bit low and tried to move it. She sent me for an ultra sound to see if it was in the correct spot but it wasnt. Wanted me to get a new one but I didnt have benefits at the time. I now have benefits and i just had my pharmacist price out my cost and it'll be $78. I will be getting a new on inserted and hopefully it's inserted correctly this time!
I gained weight, sure, but I also eat like crap. and I was on anti depressants at the time of insertion.
Pros:
NOT PREGNANT
NO BABIES
NO PILLS
NO SHOTS
NO BABIES
NO CHILDREN
Cons:
My periods are pretty light, sometimes I spot for a few days and others I bleed a lot.
I get more yeast infections since having it inserted, but that could be because of my weight as well.
I know a lot of people want to blame something other than themselves for the reason why crap happens and an IUD seems to be a good excuse. Whenever I tell anyone that I have an IUD then then in turn tell me horror stories they've heard... and I always say "well everyone's body is different and how they react to it is different. I say give it a good shot, research, and figure out if its correct for you"0 -
unfortunately, as with most things, those who are unhappy for whatever reason tend to be more vocal. I for one havnt had any problems. Good luck.SezxyStef: I disagree with you 100%.
