A member asked:
Whats the best solution for birth control? im considering going for mirena however i am expecting better weight management compared to injection. i am on injection and the weight gain is excessive. is mirena better in levels of whatever makes fat?

None make fat: Eating in excess of need makes you gain weight. Hormonal contraceptives can stimulate appetite in some or lead to water retention. A copper IUD has no hormones (minera does), so it may offer what you desire. You should discuss your needs with a doc who reviews your personal & family history to help decide what may/not be risky for your health.
