Birth Control
"I got the Skyla inserted about a year and a half ago. I&#039;ve gained about 20-30 lb and I have noticed that my hair seems to be thinning. I&#039;m 25.



I still get periods, but they&#039;re very short and I don&#039;t need a pad or a tampon-- they&#039;re really, really light. I get occasional cramps. Definitely less than when I didn&#039;t have the IUD.



I like the short, light periods and not worrying about being pregnant-- but the weight gain and hair loss are bothering me. I don&#039;t fit into any of my old clothes anymore. And it seems like I just keep gaining weight, even though I&#039;m in an intense spin class.



I&#039;m considering getting it removed because of the weight gain."
