I am 23 years old and I had my Mirena for about 8 months before I got it removed. In those 8 months I gained about 15kgs, I suffered from acne (which I did not suffer from as a teenager!!!!) and I started to lose my hair. My lower back was always aching and my periods were heavy and very painful. I have had the Mirena out for just over 2 months, however the symptoms have not yet gone away. My acne is still terrible, covering my chest, back and face, my hair has got so thin and looks lifeless and dull and my weight has not changed at all. I cant seem to shed even 1kg of the weight I put on. I have never had any of these three problems until the insertion of the Mirena. I was always a thin healthy teenager with thick long hair. I can live with the acne to be honest - but the hair loss and weight gain is just too much to bare. Please if you have any advice, I would love to hear from you!!
