Put On Weight, Enlarged Breasts, Hypothyroidism. Using Mirena. Suggestion?

I have gained 7 pounds over the last two months, my stomach seems to show it the most. I'm very active and generally never experience weight change, my lifestyle has not changed. I also have enlarged breasts. I have had Mirena for about 18 months so I don't think I am pregnant. I also have hypothyroidism. In addition I have been spotting off and on, I notice it the most after intense workouts and when I don't drink enough water. Any ideas on what's going on with my body?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The slight increase in the weight and the enlarged breasts may be due to the hormonal effects of mirena coil. This is likely to subside in next few months after the intense effect is over.
