Mirena
birth control
"I had Mirena removed 10 days ago after only 7 months. Reasons: 1. Terrible skin, worst of my life (I'm 35): A little over 2 months into it I started getting acne and incredibly greasy skin. I've always had great, clear skin even through my teenage years but on the Mirena would get one pimple after another. They'd take forever to heal and leave long-lasting discolorations. Previously, I'd get perhaps two pimples/year which would heal quickly without much of a trace. My face also looked puffier.
2. Facial hair (visible mustache and peach fuzz along the chin) and incredibly bristly, fast growing armpit/pubic/leg hair. I'm back on Nuvaring and thank God my skin and hair is already back to normal."
