Copper IUDs and Weight Gain Weight gain isn?t listed as a side effect of ParaGard. Anecdotal evidence from women using the device indicates IUDs cause weight gain, but scientific evidence is inconclusive. A study published in Contraception assessing weight changes in Brazilian women using copper IUDs found that weight increased, especially in older women. It was also determined that the women tended to gain weight during their reproductive years independent of IUD insertion. Because of this, weight gain may have been related to age. A more recent study published in the European Journal of Contraception & Reproductive Health Care compared weight gain in women who used hormonal contraception or IUDs. The study found users of both types of birth control gained significant weight over a 10-year period. Although these studies indicate IUD users experienced weight gain, it?s unclear if the gain was due to the IUD or normal aging and lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. Removing the IUD didn?t necessarily result in weight loss. More research is needed to put an end to the debate about weight gain and IUDs.
