I have been on Levo for 9 months and I got my Skyla IUD put in in October and since then I have been crying all the time. My doctor also says I should be losing weight but I have gained 5. My dosage is 125 and I don’t feel like my body is any different besides I don’t get mad as easily. My IUD is a very low dosage of hormones so I do not bribe that has anything to do with my thyroid but I may be wrong. I have history of bipolar disorder in my family but I do not want to jump to a shrink when this could just be my medicine not doing what it I suppose to.

Googling SKYLA I read:
- It can also cause weight gain
- Some women find their hormonal mood swings to be intense, though for some that side effect levels out after a few months or doesn’t arise at all.
An hormone-releasing contraption placed directly into your body is going to impact in one way or another, that is its purpose. Being a "low dose" isn't really relevent because it is a dose sufficient to alter things such that you cannot get pregnant, which by any standards, is a phenomenal effect.
