Has anyone had mirena IUD or copper IUD fitted in . I had my mirena fitted in and am considering getting it removed because it's giving skin problems and weight gain that I am finding it hard to control and replace with other contraceptives.

The mirena caused me a lot of problems, I have the copper one now and I’ve had no problems at all. I love it has no hormones.
How long did you keep the mirena on? How many months did you wait to have the copper one fitted after removal ? Am considering having the copper, but I was wondering if it could be done in one appointment.

I have the copper slightly longer and heavier periods but it’s got no hormones in it x

I had the mirena for a couple of years. The copper I had put in years afterwards, there was a space of around 6/7 years.
