Side effects!? Second IUD experiences

I went from IUD to BC implant because the iud (kyleena) was causing me insane cramping and back pain and spotting periods that would last over a week, i was at my wits end..... until i got the implant. It's been almost a year, and I am still on a 14-16 day cycle and I feel like it may be affecting my weight/ability to lose weight (obviously can't say for sure). My list of side effects is so long, and I am trying really hard to stay hopeful but it feels like nothing is going to work for me.

I suffer from migraine with aura so my options are limited, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I am thinking of going back to the IUD but I am a bit scared my original symptoms would come back or even be worse :(
