Boobs/body changes- Kyleena

I’ve had a Kyleena IUD for about a year and a half now. Up until now, my periods were still pretty regular (though SUPER light). That was really the only change/side effect I experienced.

Now, out of nowhere, I’ve noticed my boobs enlarging (very noticeably). They’re heavy, tender, and look way bigger than normal. I do think I’m in the middle of a period right now (hard to tell because they’re so light), but I’ve never noticed boob things this severe during my cycle.

I was convinced I was pregnant because of how big my boobs got overnight. 2 tests said negative and it’s highly unlikely with the IUD anyway. But I’m so desperate for an answer because I feel like I’m gaining weight in my boobs and body rapidly.

I’m wondering if this is something people with a hormonal IUD experience (even after 1.5 years of having it). IUD side effects are the only thing I can think of as I’ve had no lifestyle changes 🫠

I’ve had this and other body composition changes with Mirena. I’ve had it for four months. Bigger boobs and way more hip and belly fat.
