The IMPLANT MADE ME GAIN 40 lbs in 6 months.
I was 102. I was not eating as I was a full time student and working full time, I was 16-18 hrs out of the house plus I worked out 3 h a day or more since I worked at a gym.
I ate close to nothing simply cause I had no time and food from home spoils and I had no time to sit down and look pretty. I was on the go.
I gained so much weight in a short amount of time with that garbage and I had to take it off.
Let alone I needed to fix my hormones afterwards. I would starve and not lose the weight and I’d run 8-10 miles.
I also had several miscarriages and fertility issues.

As a dietitian the term “significant” is a specific amount over a specific time period. Birth control can absolutely cause weight gain. Hormones control a lot of what goes on in your body. Don’t ever let anyone tell you contraception doesn’t affect your weight. My doctor once told me “calories in and calories out is the only thing that matters for weight”. FALSE. Ethnicity, genetics, disease factors, mobility, nutrition, hormones, etc affects weight.

The IUD made my stomach bloated asf, always hungry, and always craving food, and lots of weight gain. Just got it removed Tuesday!

YALLL LOOK: 👇

Instead, you may be retaining more fluid, which can make you feel as if you've put on weight, particularly in your breasts, hips and thighs. The estrogen in birth control pills does affect fat (adipose) cells, making them larger but not more numerous."

So hormonal birth control can cause an increase in fat volume and overall body mass but because there aren't more individual fat cells they say it's not weight gain for some reason..? I mean... if your body is larger and the scale says a higher number, what else are you supposed to call that?

I ballooned on the iud. Since I took it out a week ago I have lost 7 lbs and have been fitting into my clothes better

[swayswaysoothxs]

I’ve been on the iud and have gained 20 pounds and I have extremely awful cravings. I have extremely bad vaginal dryness and have been feeling constant symptoms of either having a bladder infection or yeast infection and have been having horrible urine fishy smell after I urinate!!

[WhyRyouRunningsir]

The IUD was the worst, I gained so much weight and it’s so hard to lose the weight.😢

[chrissyhurr]

I ballooned with the implant and have not been able to lose weight. I have been off for just a month and down 20 pounds. Progestin should not be spread through out your blood stream. I’m now on the iud.

[NelleASMRandstuff]

Ma gurl does it cause extreme hunger and cravings I swear I don’t usually full on bite on a hot pocket or cake but now I do it’s like I’m always hungry and dizzy

[stormyzee]

Tbh my body has never been the same ever since i got an implant 5 years ago. I took it out a year later but my weight is mess. I'm failing to lose the weight and keep it off 😞 so depressing

[otshepengpetlele]

The implant did it for me...I gained waaaay too much like that lady on the video

[VoiceForTheSilenced]

Paraguard Copper IUD was the BEST for me. No hormones ❤

[Midnight_munchies]

Dude she looks even more pretty after birth control

[its.BiG.mamaaaa]

I was on depo for years and was skinny as a stick, I still am 😂 I was so mad I thought I was finna be fine fine with the lil weight gain as small as I was 😢

[themejiasfamily]

Mirena has caused me to gain a lot of weight. Do your research, tons of other women say the same. Mirena will cause weight gain, plus it will cause tons of other hormonal and mental issues.

I had my implant almost in for a year, but it messed my body up so bad inside and out, I had to take it out and now I want to try the injection and now I hear it makes you gain weight and I am still struggling with baby weight. Now I don't no what to do because after my implant got taken out, I lost a few pounds.

[robynlemorte]

Girlies the copper IUD wasnt mentioned in this video, no hormones! Im 6 months in and no weight gain ❤

[Evelynlouise]

I’ll echo everyone here and say the IUD does cause weight gain. I’m 34 and since as far back as I can remember I have NEVER been over 8stone. It has been my goal I was never able to reach. Ive always been between 7/7.5 I’ve tried so many times to put weight on and just put it down to maybe having a high metabolism 🤷‍♀️ went on they IUD for 8 months and I weigh 8.2 now. Which I am very happy with and it’s a healthy BMI for me.

Another thing, I’ll admit in the past I have always said medication does not put you weight on, the food you put inside your body does and it still does but I feel the IUD slowed down my metabolism because I still eat the exact same amounts so…

[emilyjaswell]

I lost so much wait on depo was a steady 100 lb and I switched to the pill and I don’t like it I gained 20 lbs and haven’t been eating more if anything less
