It's not a medical device, it's really a barrier device - and just doesn't effect your metabolism It does hurt when you first get fitted with the copper-T, and the pain should go away and stay away. If you are having increased pain and break through bleeding, it's probably time to get re-checked as it can move out of place. Sometimes it can be expelled during your period, or even partially expelled, and if that happens it (of course) is no longer effective birth control. I experienced this myself, after 20 months I had mine removed becuase every time I exercised or did physical labor I had breakthrough bleeding and some discomfort. There was no evidence that the IUD was partially expelled, but it did hurt. Otherwise it was a good form of birth control for us. Too bad. It will not cause you to gain weight!

After the initial fiting (excruciating) and several heavy periods later it settled down- in the 4th year i started to get really bad stomach cramps that radiated to my back...I had the whole battery of tests, urine, STD, blood tests= Nothing. I was told to remove the coil as sometimes skin can tighten around it or harbour bacteria. It feels so much better no it's out but i DO think it's the best non-hormonal method....i would have one again..It's just bad luck when things go wrong. i think she means the pill causes her weight gain!
