A member asked:
I've had weight gain and bloating since skyla insertion a month ago, is this to be expected? my diet hasn't changed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common: Skyla has a very tiny amount of Progesterone that acts locally on the lining of the uterus and cervical mucous. The hormone released is so low it does not usually cause symptoms throughout your body. Monitor your progress over the next few months and see it is gets better. If not see your doctor
