"i am so glad i checked this out, i have had this iud for 9 months. i cannot complain about the periods as they have almost completely stopped except for occasional spotting but i could not figure out why i am gaining weight and having breakouts when i never have them and have been working out/eating right since the births. i think i am having this thing changed out for a non-hormonal releasing iud since i have had cramping, slight depression, weight gain and acne since it has been placed and no other symptoms before that."
