Weight gain with Skyla

sissy685

I have notice that since having the IUD put in I have ballooned up a bit. The weight on the scale has remained the same but my close keep getting smaller. I have been trying really hard these last few weeks with no change. Has anyone ever experienced this with an IUD? Im just trying to decide if its doctor worthy or not.
Thanks!

I remember when my doctor was talking to me about Skyla, she mentioned that was a possibility due to it not being a mix of hormones. I believe we discussed it being water weight (it was several months ago so my memory is starting to fail me). I ended up not doing the IUD and doing a non-mixed hormone pill instead, but I did have some weight/body fat % fluctuations the first month to 6 weeks of being on it. I'd say wait it out a few weeks, and if it doesn't fix itself in that time, you might want to go in.
