Hello
MIRENA is a progesterone containing intra uterine device.
The symptoms that you have like swollen breasts , weight gain are the undesired effects of progesterone.
It also causes irregular cycles, scanty periods and spotting which gives the fear of pregnancy.
But know the fact that MIRENA has a very low failure rate.
So donot panic.
