That is a terrible you haven't been able to loss the weight with all that work! How discouraging that must be for you. Hopefully getting the IUD removed will do the trick.
I personally haven't had the weight issue but many many other problems. Pain, to the point I CAN'T have sex, depression, constant pms, HORRIBLE acne, numerous infections, etc etc. I found this site yesterday and I have scheduled to have my IUD removed on Friday. I feel scammed as well. I have been complaining to my OB for months about my symptoms and she has told me that there is no way the IUD is causing any of them except maybe the acne. What a crock. Even the Mirena site lists some of the things I've been experiencing. I really like my OB too, I'm very dissappointed in the care she has given me through this whole ordeal though. I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait to have a period!!!!!!! Good luck girl!
