Mirena IUD / Weight loss

Whitney

I’ve had my IUD since 2017, this whole time I’ve never had a period, only spotting a few times a year.

I have recently started a weight loss program (Optavia) and I’ve lost 20 pounds. I’ve also started a period this week, still have my IUD.

I’m wondering why I have one now? Can weight loss cause this? Or having a diet high in soy products like I do now?
