abnormal uterine bleeding
"I'm 21 years old with no children. I was on the pill from age 14-19 and became horrible with reminding myself to take them. Decided to try an IUD. I originally got the paragard. Shortly after I noticed I had developed horrible acne. I tried everything to get rid of it but nothing was working. Also my periods became extremely heavy and painful. I thought I'd stick it out to see it those effects would go away. Had it for a year and my symptoms didn't go away. I had it removed and decided to try the Mirena instead for the hormones. I've had it for about 2 months now and my skin is almost completely clear. My periods are lighter with hardly any cramping. I have been spotting off and on since insertion so hopefully it goes away soon."
