Informal Poll
Do any of you have Mirena? If you do, have you had an increase in acne? How about mood swings or bad PMS?
Explaination: I’ve had Mirena since Maddie was eight weeks old and I have been inundated with acne since then. I can’t get rid of it and I don’t know if it’s simply because I had a baby or if it’s the Mirena. I also have horrible mood swings/PMS like I’ve never had in my life. I’m seriously considering having it removed next month at my annual.

Oh, that is too bad! I have the copper IUD, called the Paraguard. I love it, but I love it because there aren’t any hormones.
I love it so much I’ve noticed I proselytize about IUDs pretty freakin’ often.
But, since being off the pill my PMS has come back with a VENGEANCE. I keep hoping shit will level off and I’ll only be a mildly irritating monster once a month, rather than the soul-devouring demon I manage to become.
I’ve had Mirena since November, so perhaps I haven’t had it long enough to know better. My PMS is also pretty ragey though I have yet to have a real period (I’ve been spotting off/on pretty constantly since the install) so my moods are just unpredictable. My face has started breaking out again as well, but it did pre-baby so I was unsure if I was just getting back to normal (I cleared up while pregnant) or if it was IUD related. I’ve been absolutely no help, have I?
I’m no help. I don’t use BC. (Well, kind of, but anyway.) I was interested in seeing what everyone else said, but not too many are commenting yet.
I wasn’t going to comment since I use Yasmine, but something is better than nothing right! I am also a RAGING lunatic PMS-er. I usually give my husband a warning the week of the wrath.
