"so, the insertion process for those who haven&rsquo;t went through it was extremely painful for me. i passed out twice but and the pain lasted two weeks but right now it&rsquo;s all good. i do like the freedom it gives me to have sex with my boyfriend without a condom. however recently i haven&rsquo;t been able to lose weight. i go to the gym for about an hour and a half a day and yet the weight is sticking to me like glue. also i&rsquo;ve gained 4 pounds since i got it (three weeks ago). i don&rsquo;t like the weight gain at all and if it continues i might get it removed. that was a big worry for me when talking to my doctor and even though the iud is a great form of birth control i&rsquo;m on a weightloss journey and this is causing a lot of issues."
