Kyleena IUD. No sex drive?

Question

Hello, 
I've had the Kyleena IUD for 7 months. I've had little to no sex drive & weight gain. Has anyone else experienced this on Kyleena?

Answer

It can happen in some women because the hormone that it releases is the same hormone that our body produces naturally. But when you get pregnant (not saying you are at all) you have more of it which is also true for when you have an IUD so your body thinks its pregnant so that's what can cause you to have low labido and weight gain. This can happen with any birth control not just an IUD I hope you understand what im meaning.

Answer

My sex drive is always up, just slightly less now after almost 2 years with it. However, I do have weight gain that seems to be less actual fat and more water weight. I can tell the difference because the first time I reached my current weight due to fat, it was very obvious that I was getting fatter. This time, there’s no real change to my body composition other than being more bloated and full looking in my stomach.
