  Getting the Mirena Coil taken out was the best thing I have
ever done!  (57 Posts) Jigsawgirl Wed 14-Oct-09 18:39:30
Following reading lots of posts about the Mirena Coil, I just
wanted to say that 9 months after I had it put it in, I had put
on nearly 2 stone and despite running 4 miles a day and watching
what I was eating I couldn't shift the weight. Looking at posts
on Mums Net encouraged me to have it removed. I had it taken out
on a Monday lunchtime, by the Tuesday morning my bloated tummy
had gone down - my husband (and neighbour who is a nurse) were
shocked at the visible difference. by the Friday I had lost
nearly a stone in weight and over the next few weeks I had lost
a further stone. 3 months on since having it taken out I feel
normal and slim again. Thank you all the Mums netters whose
threads convinced me to get the damn thing taken out!  were you
anymore interested in sex? this is the only reason i'm
contemplating having it removed - don't know if it's the coil or
permanent tiredness from rai
