is it time to give up?

i previously posted here that i have been on my period ever since i had gotten my copper iud inserted.. as of now it's been 9 months, and i've been taking noresthisterone to stop my period + give me some relief, and i'm getting chubbier by the day. it's really starting to affect my self esteem. should i just give up & switch to other methods? i haven't been sexually active at ALLLLL since i got it. some questions...

- can i remove it on my own?

- what is the best method that doesn't have effects on my weight?

thank you ladies in advance 🩷🙏
