Hey ladies! I’m looking for some honest experiences with the Skyla IUD. I have gained around 30 pounds since I’ve had it and that weight gain significantly started when I got it. My GYNO completely disagrees that it’s caused the weight gain which I have trouble understanding considering it does contain hormones. I’ve tried different diets and cannot lose anything. It’s mostly in my stomach. I’ve had so many blood tests and all my hormones are normal. It will be time to remove it or replace it soon. I don’t want to get another so I’m trying to look into my options. I really don’t want to be on any birth control but I can’t trust only using condoms. I’ve been looking into different options like loloestrin. I deal with irregular periods and very heavy bleeding so I’m afraid to try the copper IUD.
