"well, i have always been a little heavy.... not an avid athlete or calorie cruncher.  however, when i had the iud put in 4 years ago , i was only 10 lbs, from my pre-baby weight.  since then, i have gotten progressively moody, have close to no sex drive and have gained close to fifty pounds!  i was told that these were not side effects by my doctor.  when i told him that i was having mood problems he prescribed my prozac.   (my ob/gyn)   now that i have read some reviews, i realized that maybe i am not crazy...........  i had no pain when inserted and have had no periods since i had it put in.  which is great.  there has been a clear discharge, almost monthly, some odor and i have absolutely no bladder control.  time to take it out!"
