I am so glad I found this site, as well, by typing in Mirena causing acne. I workout regularly and at first, didn't have any noticeable weight gain. Really, I am still within my 10lb roller coaster but have also went from 135 to about 148 and it will not go down no matter what I do! And the acne! I too have been using proactiv to no avail when it worked fine before. I cry when I look in the mirror, the scarring and the huge pimples are embarrassing and hideous! They're not normal either, having like 2 heads per bump and I am now breaking out on my back, which I didn't ever do. I haven't had any other side effects, it's actually made me nicer than I was when I was on the pill for 10 years. I have enjoyed the periodlessness, but at what cost? My self esteem is plummeting and I am going to get it removed tomorrow. I first thought it was Hydroxycut side effects but it has been too long and it didn't take me longer than perhaps a year to realize this is the only thing I have changed in my lifestyle. On to the removal! And to any woman who's doctor will not remove it, YOU ARE PAYING THEM! They have no right to tell you that you must keep a voluntary form of contraception inserted! Change doctors for crying out loud! If your doctor is trying to run, or ruin, your life you have a choice!
