Can anyone help me on this one?

Has anyone had the Mirena Coil inserted? I had mine done about 3 weeks ago because i suffer from unbearably heavy periods. I was just speaking to a friend of mine who had hers done and who put on lots of weight with it, she said that shes going  to the doc this week to take it out. In the last 2 weeks i havent lost any weight but this morning when i woke up my scale was up 3lbs!! I can understand the odd pound but 3lbs!

Has anyone gone or going through this??

I've certainly had a hard ride with the coil.  I had it put in over a month ago and still get abdo cramps and now an increase in facial hair and spotting.  The problem is that I never properly menstruate but I'm getting a 2.5 week cycle so...weight gain, weight loss, fluid gain, fluid loss and the skitters.   I'm not sure I like the coil for these very reasons to be honest.  There are therapies such as spirolactone and vaniqa cream to help the symptoms of PCOS but the bloating....think we may be stuck with it!!!

Yeah, I've had the Mirena Coil put in about 2 months ago. I still struggle with abnormal bleeding and cramps but I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrom and I'm insulin resistant. My doctoc has had to replace it once from slipping out and had to do many ultrasounds...eek. If it worked properly with my body it would be the best form of bc...but...it isn't for me. Hope it works out for ya!
