Hi girls. After a 40 lb weight gain and a face full of acne, I researched and found this site. I had it removed immediatly. It has been 6 weeks since the removal. Already, 10 lbs shed with no problem at all, without even trying might I add. My face is clear without doing nothing different than using noxema. Before that, not even pro-active helped. No question, if you are experiencing weight gain and acne from the IUD, have it removed. Another thing, if thinking about pro-active for the acne, DON"T. It is a waiste of $50. It didn't work, nothing did except the removal.
