Does the kyleena iud cause weight gain?

I'm considering getting the Kyleena IUD for birth control. I've heard mixed reviews about different IUDs causing weight changes. Does the Kyleena IUD cause weight gain for most users?

I had a Kyleena fitted last year. Since I already manage diabetes, I am very careful about my metabolic health, and honestly, I didn't see any significant weight change. Just keep an eye on your sugar and carbohydrate intake as usual.

According to clinical studies, Kyleena has a very low dose of hormones that mostly stay local in the uterus. My gynecologist told me that while some women might experience minor water retention or increased appetite initially, it doesn't directly cause fat gain.

Mujhe toh thoda darr lag raha tha lagwane se pehle, par didi ne bataya ki thoda bhari-pan lagta hai shuru me. Mera thoda vajan bada tha par wo paani ka bhari-pan tha jo do-teen mahine me apne aap thik ho gaya.

I have had Kyleena for over six months now and no weight gain at all! Just stay active and drink lots of water to beat the initial bloating. It is honestly such a hassle-free option! 😊

I chose Kyleena because of my busy travel schedule and didn't have time for daily pills. I noticed about 1-2 kg of bloating in the first two months, but it settled down completely once my body adjusted. Don't worry too much about it.
