A member asked:
Can you gain weight from an iud or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The paragard or copper iud has no effect on weight. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud has the hormone Progesterone in it, most of which goes to the uterus, and only a small amount into the rest of the body. Rarely it might cause a few pounds of weight gain.
