finally getting the iud out !

I've gained a lot of weight on this iud paragard( I've done my research I'm not the  only one) I went from being 112 to 130 in like two months. Can't seem to get the weight off. 
I've been reading that with iuds the rest of them this happens a lot too. I love everything about my iud but I can't stand looking like this in also 5'1 sooo. 
I'm thinking about the pill, is it all safe? Can I trust it? Or what other birth controls would you guys recommend.
