Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I have issues with heavy bleeding as result Mirena IUD was inserted 18 months ago.  My bleeding issue has completed been gone.  I get a very light period every month and am very happy with that.  Since my bleeding was so heavy, my other option would be hysterectomy.  My frustration is the weight gain, I&#039;ve gained 15pounds since this was placed.  I&#039;m only 5-2 and workout every single day and watch my carbs and take a very low calorie diet.  In spite of this, I still continue to gain weight.  I have constant bloating and terrible water retention.  All my weight is in my stomach and thighs.  I have an appointment this week to get it removed, however I&#039;m scared of having the heavy bleeding again."
