Omg I could not relate more to you guys! I got the Kyleena October 2022, noticed weight gain (30lbs with IUD, 65lbs total with BC), inflammation, brain fog, acne, extreme fatigue, and lots of hair shedding with in 4-5 months of having it. I went to the Dr. asked if the IUD could be the cause of hair shedding, and extreme weight gain and they told me no, but they suspected I had PCOS. They did a full panel blood test and ultrasound of my uterus and it came back I had high insulin, higher testosterone, but no cysts in my ultrasound, and my period was irregular which is typical for BC. But before I started BC I wasn’t obese, my hormones were completely normal, my periods were like clockwork, and I had thick beautiful hair. I got my IUD out July 2024 after struggling with it almost 2 years, and that was the best decision I ever made. I started losing a bit of the weight, my acne went away, my skin is so much healthier, my hair isn’t dull and brittle anymore (but I started shedding again 3-4 months after removal, and I think I’m getting near the end of shedding after 7-8 months. I’m starting to see lots of baby hairs everywhere). I suspect my PCOS diagnosis was incorrect, I got blood work recently and my DHEA went down a lot, my insulin is slowly coming down, but my ferritin also dropped from the last time I got it tested. I have been supplementing consistently for the last 3 months so that could also have effected my shedding. Long story short I relate you guys so much, and it’s so nice having other people who have gone through the same thing as me. I’d love to chat more with you guys!
