Studies have shown that copper IUDs (ParaGard) do not cause any weight gain, and hormonal IUDs (Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, Liletta) only cause weight gain in about 5% of women. ... Pain when the IUD is inserted. Backaches or cramping the first few days after an IUD is put in. Spotting between periods.
