birth control
"I have had Mirena for a little over a month now. As soon as I put it in I got acne, its been a problem for me when I was in my teens and was almost completely gone by time I was 20.  I am 22 almost 23 and now it's almost as bad as when I was 15. I have to wash my face every day with acne creams, to help control the break outs, most of which are on my back. I have all sorts of mood swings and my husband says that I haven't really been the same since it was inserted. I am going to be looking into a way to off set this. Every once and a while I will get the breast tenderness, but it's not much worse then when I was breastfeeding and often goes away in minutes. I have a horrible time remembering to do things, so when I was taking a pill everyday I had to rely on my cellphone alarm going off to take the pill and even then if it wasn't close by or if I was in the middle of doing something I wouldn't stop to go take the pill. I love that I don't really have to worry about it.  My doctor told me since I hadn't been getting my period while breastfeeding, Mirena would more then likely stop my periods, which so far I haven't even spotted one day.  I haven't had any problems with weight gain. I have maintained the same weight as when it was inserted, though I am trying now to start losing weight, so we shall see how that goes. Overall at this moment I would recommend it to others. As long as I can off set this funk I am in."
