Question
I had my tubbs tied 1 1/2 year ago. I have been going to GYN clinic. Because I bleed 3 weeks out 4 in a month. It is so heavy that I go through 20-30 pads a day. I have taken provera for 6 months 10mg for 3 and 20mg the other 3. Then I was put on springtec for 4 months. Nothing has changed. They are wanting to my in a IUD Myrai I think that is how it is spelled. My only problem is I was told by people who had this incertan they gain weight. Is this true I am already over weight and I am tring to knock it ff but since I been taking this meds I have been gaining

Answer
Christin,

Sorry I was not able to get to your question until now. I don't know if you have already made a decision. I would not recommend the IUD if that is what you meant. I couldn't really understand what you were saying. Yes, it could cause a weight gain. That could happen from any kind of hormonal birth control method. The problems you are having might be from the birth control pills. Do you need to be on a birth control method right now? Please get the best medical advice. I would like for you to email me at DWooley97@aol.com so you can let me know what is happening.
Hope to hear from you soon.
