Can a woman gain weight with the copper t contraceptive?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes...but...: A woman can use anything as an excuse when she gains weight. However, there is no hormones attached to the copper IUD so any weight gain would not be due to a hormonal influence.

Unlikely: Copper IUDs and Weight Gain. Weight gain isn't listed as a side effect of ParaGard. Anecdotal evidence from women using the device indicates IUDs cause weight gain, but scientific evidence is inconclusive. ... Removing the IUD didn't necessarily result in weight loss.

Probably not: The copper T should not have metabolic effects
