AF has just shown up for me the first time in quite some time, But She is a lot lighter than she ever was before Mirena. I was a bit concerned when I first got it put in (it was the same time that Charmlea's fell out) but I decided that the only way I would find out if it worked for me was to try it.

As for weight gain try to keep up a healthy eating and regular exercise regime, I haven't gained anything, I am almost back to my pre-preg weight. I think many of us are quick to blame our methods of contraception and slower to look at what other things could be contributing. I did gain 4 kilos while on the regular pill, but I also moved to a more sedentiary job and still ate crap, so I doubt that it was the pill that made me gain weight.
