Hello,
The copper IUD (e.g. Paragard, Mona Lisa, T-safe) does not contain any hormones, so there is no direct way that it would affect weight.
Copper IUD users still gain weight in long-term studies though, just like people who aren't using any contraception will gain weight with time and age.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
