I got off the depo-provera shot because i gained 30 pounds my doctor switched me to the skyla iud and said it shouldnt make me gain weight is this true ?

Yes: The Skyla and Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUDs have not been found to cause weight gain. However, they also are not going to help you loose the weight. Diet and exercise are going to be necessary for that. Good luck.
