I have had an increase in sweating excessively on the Kyleena IUD. I had mine placed in November of 2022 after being on the Nexplanon implant for almost 3 years (2 years 8 months). I switched from the Nexplanon due to heavy bleeding for 10-15 days every 16-20 days. The placement of the IUD was painful as I have not had a child before, but the pain was manageable. I have a heart condition that causes me to lose consciousness and I notified my gynecologist that placed it before so she was aware. She was wonderful in giving me something to help increase my blood pressure, lower my heart rate, and keep me conscious after the placement. I did have to wait for about an hour after placement at the office due to my symptoms, however I have not had any issues out of the ordinary since! I do not have periods anymore while on the Kyleena which- for me- is a blessing!

After expelling two Paragards, my doctor recommended Mirena. My body took to it much better overall, and I ended up keeping it for 6 years. I wish I knew my sex drive would decrease, I would get occasional horrible cramps from ovarian cysts, and it would dry me up leaving me susceptible to more yeast infections than usual. I loved the peace of mind and no periods during a time when I was growing my career. I don't think I would use it again, now that I'm married and a baby wouldn't be such a big deal.
