Can the IUD be felt during sex? Does it cause weight gain?

Question

I’m considering getting an IUD after not being on birth control for over a year. I just had a few questions for anyone who has experience using an IUD. Can you feel it during your day to day life- is it uncomfortable? Can it be felt during sex? I’m nervous that if I’m having rougher sex it might hurt me or get pushed into something. And did anyone notice a considerable weight gain after starting it? Any other comments or information would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer

I have no side effects. 😃 My strings were left longer by my doctor and I think that helps because then they curl up and they don't bother during sex but I've heard of people who have short strings the strings are more pokey cause they're too short to curl up. 
Can't feel it during sex, it's inside your uterus not your vagina. First couple months my cervix was sensitive though but I know lots of girls have sensitive cervixes anyway. I'm back to normal now and like my cervix being hit during sex again 😂

Answer

I haven’t felt my IUD at all and I’ve had it for about 4 or 5 months. I didn’t gain weight from it but i think it boosted my appetite a lot. And I can’t feel it during sex either, my boyfriend says the same
