I went to the doctor today and told her I wanted my Mirena out. I was not expecting her to give me a hard time about it. But she did. She asked me what my "story" was. And I told her. I was about 200 elbees when they put this darn thing inside me and then doing nothing different, I am now 230. She told me MILLIONS of people have used the Mirena and I would be THE very first to report weight gain as a side effect. REALLY? I'd be the FIRST? I know that's not true. And I told her I wanted it out anyway. She said she'd really hate to see me get it out, for that reason only since it's the best form of birth control currently on the market. I had some other personal reasons I wanted it out, so she went ahead and removed it. But seriously! Flippity, flippin, ey. It's my body, I say I want it out, who gives a rip. And you can't say I'm the first to report weight gain, but whatev.
Unfortunately it didn't weight 30lbs. But maybe that is fortunate since I would hate to have anything 30lbs taken out from that area...
And maybe she was right. Maybe it has nothing to do with it. And if that's the case I am going to be sad, but I'll just keep chuggin along. And eventually doing the right things, I'll see results.
