"i have had this iud for a few weeks. i&#039;ve always struggled with weight gain w/hormones. i can&#039;t take estrogen. on the depo, i gained 30 pounds in 3 months. then i tried the paragard, no weight gain, but excruciating pain every day for the year i had it in (suspecting an allergy), then i tried nexplanon, thinking it was less hormones, lots of people like it. gained that same 30 pounds back, but over 8 months instead of 3 before i discontinued. i also had awful anxiety and no sex drive. that said, besides cramping, i&#039;ve had zero side effects so far with lilletta. no weight gain, no anxiety, normal libido. and for those who don&#039;t know, there are several chemically different progestins. maybe one works for you, another doesn&#039;t. do your research."
