Mirena and weight gain

a good friend of mine put of quite a bit of weight with hers. she finally got it taken out when he hubby had his vasectomy and was confirmed to have no swimmers. its coming off again now but slowly and she is having to be quite careful with eating and exercise etc.. she was eating really well and stuff before too but the weight didnt just drop off with no effort when it came out

I don't think I have and I got mine in May this year. I do know it is a side effect. However weight does flucuate and the 2kgs could of been gained due to that time of the month. I noticed that happened to me when the witch was meant to arrive but didn't due to the Mirena.

If it is a big concern talk to the person that put it in to see what is going on.

If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose weight on Mirena.

The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week.

Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster.

Yoga burns calories when done the right way.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.

This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me on Mirena.

Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.

If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.

Good luck!
