Question by Sara S: How likely is it really to gain weight while using the Mirena IUD?
The Mirena website says that there is no proof of weight gain in the studies done, but then you look online and all these women say they gained a ton of weight once they got it. They say that the gain is a result of the hormone, progesterone released by the IUD. I was already taking the progesterone to regulate my periods and I didn’t gain any weight. Does that mean I’m safe?

IUD’s are the most dangerous things for birth control, they can move around, and are very long term. I would recommend pills or the depo provera injection.
