Mirena Side effects

I've had mirena for 6 weeks now.  The spotting has finally stopped.  And I don't believe it's made me crazy as other hormonal BC options have in the past. 

However, I think it's contributing to salty/sweet combo food cravings...which is leading to some weight gain. 

Has anyone else expericed cravings as a side effect?

Re: Mirena Side effects

  • That's the exact craving I had for most of my 9 months pregnant with #3!

    Stick out tongue

  • I've never used mirena but I do know that bc pills can cause weight gain so I would think the same rules would apply.  Or you are pregnant Wink

  • I have always done a sweet/salty food cycle. If I have something sweet to eat, I have to have something salty after. But it wasn't a side effect I had with Mirena.
  • I've had Mirena for three years. I can't attribute any cravings to it or specific weight gain. But when I started it Todd was still nursing frequently.

    I love it.
