How do you post a question on Myfitnesspal?

I'm glad you had an up front and honest doctor that didn't deny the weight gain side effect, like some doctors do.
-
I am TIRED of psychiatrists lying about side effects! I tell them I have xyz side effect and they say, no it's not the med, it's you! Lies! And I've had this issue with more than one psychiatrist. Anyways, I took Zoloft for 5 weeks and my stomach got SO fat. I'm sitting at my desk at work and my belly is hanging over my…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

Has anyone taken Chaste berry (Vitex) after getting the Mirena removed to balance hormones?
-
Thank you for the hope and encouragement. I'm happy for you that you are finally becoming your normal self again.
-
Thank you! I have hope. Part of me feels like it will never go back to normal, that I will be stuck this way forever.
-
Anyone that had stomach bloating, how long did it take for it to go away after removal? I look pregnant and I'm not.
-
Too young ;)

Has anyone tried anything to detox their body after Mirena? If so, what, and did it work?
-
Some people don't have any problems with the Mirena. My cousin loves it. Some people have side effects pretty soon after getting it, and some people don't experience symptoms until a couple years down the road. My stomach bloating is not just a little bloated, it is ALOT bloated! It is bloated like I have never experienced…

I had the Mirena put in 2 months ago. And a week and a half later my stomach went from being flat to being SO swollen and bloated. It stuck out so far that I looked 4 months pregnant. I would get full very fast and my stomach got bigger throughout the day. I felt like I had an expanding water balloon in my stomach. I tried…
