I am prediabetic as well.With my last pregnancy i was diadiagnosed with gestational diabetes and after my fasting blood glucose is usually 6.9 or 7.5 I don't take any metformin and on a low carb diet. So far i had lost 4 kilos but the weight is going down slowly so hopefully it will continue to go down at the same speed.

After I taken the Mirena out I had not lost any weight still had lactating breasts and mood swings for about a year.Finally I had enough and went to my GP with the complaint of side effects. The doctor decided to do an ultrasound scan and it revealed a 4 cm cyst on my left ovary. Now I have to go for another scan in 6…

Thanks for the reply. :) with the Mirena removal I gained a cyst on my left ovary.If it doesn't go away within 6 weeks than I have to go for another ultrasound appointment and they will have to deal with this.

I finally found the cause of my weight gain.The ultrasound showed a 4cm cyst on my left ovary.It will be monitored by my doctor.The ovarian cysts do trigger weight gain and it's harder to lose weight if you have one.

Thank you for mentioning the lactating breasts.I have both breasts lactating but more stuff comes out from the right one.I think mirena is to blame for messing up with the reproductive system and I am hoping that the body will sort itself out.At the moment I am awaiting on the ultrasound scan to check if I have developed…

I had mirena coil removed last year and it messed up my periods (I have them every 3 month now) still can't lose weight I gained and have lactating breasts (my kids are 5 and 10 y.o.)I had visited the doctor who done a blood test and it came back normal.I think it's a bit odd to still have the side effects of the coil has…

I am the same. No matter what I do i still have the weight +15 kilos after mirena removal over a year ago and I feel depressed. Also mirena messed up my cycles which isn't normal I hope that my body will readjust itself sometime soon.

Since having my mirena removed in February 2014 I was unable to lose weight which had gained with the device. Also i still have the lactating breasts and my periods are all in a mess( one period every 3 month). Went to the doctor twice and my bloods are normal.I am completely clueless what is causing all of this when the…

I had mineral removed 11 month ago.I gained a lot of weight with it my breasts were lactating I had mood swings and panic attacks. Now I am slowly getting back to normal my cycles aren't regular yet but at least I am not gaining any more weight. I guess it takes time for your body to readjust.

I had mirena taken out 6 month ago. I gained weight with it had mood swings and lactating breasts.Mirena was recommended to me by my friends who never had problems with it. The hormone in it is a synthetic form of progesterone which is responsible for pregnancy. The side effects are all listed on the packaging and I was…

Read the information about the coil......

i had mirena coil removed 6 month ago.I did gain weight with it and never changed appetite or eating habits.The weight gain had stopped after i had taken it out but still have mood swings,lactating breasts and dizziness. The hormone that's in the mirena affects everybody differently and the weight gain is a listed side…

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.

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

i had my mirena removed 4 month ago and i still have the side effcts from it: 30 lbs weight gain,tiredness,lactating breasts and spots. A week ago i started taking multivitamins, evening primrose oil and chaste berry herbal supplements. I noticed an instant improvement with my energy levels and i am no longer feel tired.

I haven't lost any weight yet.I had mine removed 3 month ago. I watch what i eat and exercise. I guess it takes longer for the weight to come off. I gained 15 kilos within a year and never been so heavy before. Used to think that i ate too much but after i done my research i came to conclusion that the cause of rapid…

I haven't lost anything I cycle and count calories. Still got massive belly and lactating breasts. I just want to return back to normal very frustrating.

I had my mirena removed about 2 months ago.Still have the weight and dizziness. Also it has messed up my periods.There is not a real period at all just spotting every month. Before I had the mirena I had very heavy periods. I am still moody and have lactating breasts. I am not pregnant as I am doing pregnancy tests…

i stick to a low GI diet and no chips and ice creams. Cycling and walking 4 times a week. I live in Scotland so it's mostly hillwalking that i do

May be or may be not I don't understand how I can put on 15 kilos in 1 year.So my metabolism just stopped working all together.

I am not that old so surely I can lose some of that weight.

Okay so why I could lose weight before bc and not after? Is it that simple.

I completely agree my periods have changed as well after I had it removed.

I never had any form of birth control before I got mirena and managed to stay the same weight without diet or exercise. I lost weight after I gave birth to my children. So why am I gaining with counting calories and exercising???? Anyone knows the answer?

I disagree because mirena is a foreign object in your womb and your body thinks that you are pregnant and goes in to a pregnancy mode. I had 2 children and i know all the pregnancy symptoms like cravings,lactating breasts and weight gain with no periods also tiredness and moodiness. All this symptoms are listed as side…

It's been two months since I had it removed.Still having dizzy spells ,tiredness and lactating beasts. The weight hasn't shifted at all despite my efforts. I guess it takes a few more months or a year to get back to normal again.

I had taken it out and don't want to take anything else just let my body to recover.Let the men have their turn on contraception it's not just a woman who got to suffer, gain weight and feel unattractive . While I had mirena I felt like I was pregnant.I had cravings, lactating breasts and stomach cramps.Also my skin was…

I had it in for about a year.Removed it due to discomfort and weight gain.

I had my mirena out for 6 weeks now and I still haven't lost any weight.Also I still have lactating breasts and dizzy spells.I gained about 12 kilos on it and I haven't been this big in all my life even after having 2 kids.I eat healthy and always on the go with 2 kids.I started taking multivitamins to help my body recover.
