The copper IUD is the only one

Personally, I don't know a single woman who has gained weight by taking birth control pills. I've lost weight on them and gained. I don't think it interferes with your ability to lose weight it's just that hormones in general affect your moods (and therefore maybe your level of desire for bad foods). Just pick the right method that suits your lifestyle. If you are consciously watching your weight then going on the pill isn't going to change that. Good luck!

I used a Ortho and a generic form of it and actually lost weight during the time I was on it. I don't think it had anything to do with the birth control itself...but I didn't do anything different in my daily diet in order to lose the weight. I certainly didn't gain from Ortho anways!

Hate to be redundant but...I absolutely love the Mirena IUD (it secretes mild hormones, as opposed to the cooper IUD which does not. I do not have any experience with the Cooper, but the Mirena's hormones are only secreted locally, which means it does not go into your bloodstream or circulate throughout your body like the Pill.) You'll experience slight cramping upon insertion and removal...but they are good for 3 YEARS!!! And if you want to get pregnant, just remove them and wait a couple of cycles. I removed mine to get pregnant and had no problems. Now if only that pregnancy weight would disappear...

There are plenty of types of birth control that don't cause weight gain.

I was on the ortho tricyclen pill for 5 years and it didn't make me gain any weight. It all depends on how your body reacts with the birth control. :)

I use a diaphragm, which is a little rubber device you insert before sex and remove after. You fill it with spermacide and place it over the cervix. They are 96% effective, have no side effects, and are not noticible to either partner once inserted. I've heard so many horror stories about IUDs (hurts to put them in, eat their way through the uterine wall, makes periods hellish, like that) that personally I wouldn't dare!
