birth control
"I've lost 15 lbs since getting the Skyla 9 months ago (now 115 lbs at 5'5"). This is not normal for my body and I will likely get the Skyla out so that I can hopefully gain the weight back and feel like I'm in my own body again. I know most people gain weight if they have any weight changes with an IUD, but my friend also lost weight when she was already very thin after getting the Skyla so I know I'm not the only one. Also get more painful cramping during PMS and the first couple days of my period. Have some occasional mood issues like anxiety but that could easily be chalked up to life stuff. Insertion was pretty painful but not unbearable. Had cramping for 20 days until I got my first period after insertion."
