"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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t close by or if i was in the middle of doing something i wouldn&#039;t stop to go take the pill. i love that i don&#039;t really have to worry about it.  my doctor told me since i hadn&#039;t been getting my period while breastfeeding, mirena would more then likely stop my periods, which so far i haven&#039;t even spotted one day.  i haven&#039;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."
