Can A Mirena IUD Cause Cramping And Spotting?
I had my Mirena IUD put in mid November. Now, 7 months later, I am having cramps and spotting. I have also recently gained quite a bit of weight around my thighs and butt, not normally where I gain weight. I do still feel my strings but is there a chance there could be something wrong with my birth control?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Cramping, spotting, weight gain are the common side effects of the hormone in the Mirena IUD. If strings are felt in place, then there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
