I got the ParaGard copper IUD about 8 or 9 months ago. At first I thought it was a great option mainly because it's hormone free.
The first few months I didn't notice any changes at all. I was just excited I didn't have to worry about birth control for the next ten years!
Around Thanksgiving, people started commenting on my boobs looking bigger, and people at work asking if I got bigger implants. I started noticing my bras felt tighter and the cup size seemed too small. At the time, I blamed it on my period, or bloating, etc.
Fast forward till now, and it's gotten much, much worse. My bras (32DDD, I have 450cc silicone implants)don't even remotely fit and since my boobs have doubled in size, hardly any of my work clothes or regular clothes fit me either.
I saw my doctor and she days it's not from the IUD. She says I'm "getting older" and my "body is changing." To me that's bullshit. I'm 28 and have had the same bra size since I got my implants in 2009. No other part of my body has gained weight either. She wants me to see an endocrinologist a month from now before she will take the IUD out.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? I feel all alone cause everyone keeps telling me there's no way it's from the IUD, but I really think it must be...Should I just find another doctor who will take it out now? I feel really depressed, confused, and embarrassed by this...
