Mirena won't make you gain weight or give you the same side effects as depo. The hormones in Mirena stay in the uterus. It is very helpful to women with PCOS as it keeps the uterine lining thin, which reduces the risk of hyperplasia and cancer. It was a very positive experience for me. The only thing is I wanted to TTC very soon after having it removed, so my doctor put me on meds to build my lining back up faster than it normally would. |
