I had a copper iud put in abt a yr ago&gained 10 lbs w/o changing a thing, then began eating less& already exercise every day but no change. remove it?

Listen to your body: Iud's and bc pills can both increase weight gain. Eat 6 equal meals with 6 servings of organic vegetables and one fruit, 3 t olive oil, high quality protein, small amounts of slow grains like quinoa, amaranth, or buckwheat groats but avoid wheat, rice, and corn, manage stress skillfully, do small amounts of exercise totaling 60 minutes a day, and avoid deficiencies in vit d3, iron and zinc.

Not necessary: There is no evidence in research, nor is there logical reasoning to suggest that the copper iud is affecting your metabolism, appetite, or exercise. You can see your doctor, or a nutritionist about weight loss strategies.
