Yes, it made me a fat, grumpy cow. I had mine removed after about 2 years when I finally realised that the Mirena might have been the problem. The weight gain was not as bad as the mood swings... OMG, the mood swings.
I lost about 7 or 8kg within a few months of having the Mirena removed with no change to my diet or exercise levels.
I gained weight and huge fluid retention problems on top of that! I think that them saying you *shouldn't* put on weight is misleading, because like all hormonal contraception, some women WILL put on weight. I hated every single minute of it being in my body.
