I have had the Mirena IUD for over a year now, would not say that I have gained any significant amount of weight, I keep fluctuating between 5-7 lbs up and down. I still have periods like before (so much for them going away), but I get no mood swings, no cramps, no PMS, but the bleeding is a LOT heavier than before Mirena. So I have mixed feelings, I like the convenience of not having to think about birth control, but dislike that it made my periods heavier. I am considering removing it soon and having either the oblation procedure or ESure.
