A member asked:
Is mareina a safe birth control? does it make you gain weight? is it likely to casuse infertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud's are a safe birth control. The Progesterone in the iud can have some minor side-effects including mild weight gain in some women as the Progesterone is a derivative from androgens, however, it is a very low dose and the majority of women have no untoward side-effects. Iuds particularly in monogamous relationships are not associated with infertility.
