Birth control!

[bellaaa_vita 28]

Ladies! Have any of you had any challenges with birth control and weight loss? I recently went back on the pill a month ago and I'm still losing about 2 lbs a week..because of finances I'm switching to an iud that is covered 100% by my insurance...has anyone had any challenges with an iud also? The one I'm getting is Skyla..made by the same company that makes mirena..

I had an IUD years ago & hopefully they are better than they used to be. I had it for a year & it left me with blood clot issues each month. I never got over them until menopause. Sorry about TMI.

I have had the paragaurd for about a year and a half. It has no hormones. I have mixed feelings about it. It's easy and doesn't make me hold onto or gain weight but my periods are heavier and last longer.

Apparently mirena and Skyla reduce your periods down to like nothing

I have had the mine a since 2011 and no more periods. I like it as I don't have to remember it take a pill and it doesn't make me gain weight either.

Does it mess with your moods?

for me no. I have a few friends also with it and you wouldn't know as their moods don't change as well.
