thank god it is OuT!!!!

I am 29 years old, i have had the iud in for 4 years now. after having 2 children, i was 150 lbs, now 4 years later i am 210lbs. my doctor insisted my weight gain was not from miraina, and said it must be what i was eating. my whole life, i was able to loose weight no problem, but it seemed no matter what i tried ( watching what i ate, jogging, running, excersize, etc..) i could not loose weight. so trusting my doctor, i left it in for 4 years. finally, i said this is enough, i felt horriable about myself, 60lbs is a lot to gain, so i made a appt to get it removed, the day i went to have it removed, i was 210lbs, i asked the doctor to look up what i weighed right before i had the iud put in, 151lbs..then they finally realized it was this miraina making me gain weight. but it took me 4 years to convince myself the doctor was wrong. and sure enough, i looked up some feed back of this iud, and lots of other ppl had the same expeirence as i did. its really not as good as it sounds girls.. also, i want to add, i didn't have 1 period when i had the iud, and its been almost 3 weeks since i had it removed, and still haven't had one.
