A member asked:
I recently switched from depo-provera to mirena (levonorgestrel) due to extreme weight gain. when will i begin to lose the added depo-provera weight?

No magic: The weight you gain (not all women do) is "real" weight. It is not water weight and will not come off quickly. Luckily you will not experience this with Mirena (levonorgestrel) - a very good choice on your part. Dr. Oz (google on internet) has a very good two week weight loss diet that will get you started in the right direction. It's going to be diet and exercise, difficult kind of work, that will shed the lbs.
