Difficulty losing weight with mirena (levonorgestrel) iud? what effect is the mirena (levonorgestrel) having on this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: The amount of hormone, progesterone, in the mirena, (levonorgestrel) is not enough to effect anything else. Weight control is all about diet and exercise and adequate sleep and managing stress.
