Advice for Kyleena
I’ve been reading up on here about some other people’s experiences of Kyleena.
I’ve had mine in for just coming up to 4 years now, I’m 29 and it’s completely stopped my periods. Within the last 2-3 years, I’ve been suffering with terrible cystic acne - something which has never been an issue before. I’ve also gained in the region of 30 pounds, mostly around my stomach/hips, but it has also distributed to all other areas.
Along side this, I also feel like I get super bloated, but I am very food conscious and eat whole foods mostly. My sweat has changed smell, and I am also struggling with body acne, on my chest, back and feel as though my hair grows thicker and in places it never did before (such as on my chin).
I am not attributing the weight gain solely to the IUD, however after looking in to whether the IUD may have caused my skin issues recently, I also noticed so many women sharing their experiences of weight gain as a result of this type of contraceptive.
I was hoping to hear from anyone that this also happened to, and whether you removed the IUD and whether this reversed the changes you had experienced.
