Oh, I really wish you the best of luck. I have experienced many of the same things you described. I removed Mirena on Dec. 3rd. I'm working on a full recovery!

Hi I was on bcp for years and went off losing half my hair and its devistating, I read on a site a lady who had the same and found our and bc can addict your body to that harmone leaving you with problems when you go off, I went a year tring to stay off and almost went bald until I read a site with this lady saying she went on loestrin1.5/30 and it stopped and I too went on and mine stopped and i grew alot back but it took a few months to get the harmone to rebalance and your body does and when it reacts like this it loves the harmones leaving your hair and skin better then before you went off..My advice dont ever start bcp unless you plan on staying with them...And watch out for the newer stuff and look at the kind like loestrin that has been around for years with no problems.....I hope I helped many and know how devistating this can be to us ladies....

How are you doing now? Are the alergies going away? What about the increased facial hair?
