Depro or Mirena IUD?

Question:

I have endometerosis, I have had many surgeries to clean up some of the scar tissue. In April I went in the hospital to have a laproscopy to clean up some endometerosis again, however this time I ended up losing my left ovary because of a cyst and I also had a cyst removed from my right ovary, because of the endometerosis, I also had some scar tissue removed ( what the dr. could get at). Now the gyno. and GP wants me to go on the depro needle or the Mirena IUD to help the endometerosis and so I won't get anymore cyst on my remaining ovary. I have taken the depro needle yrs ago, and I gained 20 pounds in a month and a half. So I am considering the Mirena, but I am looking for the opinion of other woman that have taken the Mirena. What side effects did you have? Did anyone have drastic weight gain? Look forward to your answers.

Answers:
I hate the depo. I only had 1 shot over a year ago; I'm no where near a regular cycle and they are always unexpected. I have been considering the mirena for a while now. you can visit the mirena website.

Best person to get opinion is ur doc. For weight control, u can

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%.

Chew each morsel at least 32 times. Do not touch articles of food or the cutlery in between. This will activate ur body to generate strong signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks (minimum 20 min duration) regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry. It is however to be noted that one cannot change the shape or size of different parts of the body.

The best person to talk to would be the doctor.

However I would in no way recommend depo provera. Too many women experience too many bad side affects from this shot.
