okay ladies, i posted about 6 months ago regarding my acne and moodiness. I went to my doctor and consulted about having the Mirena removed. She said the acne would subside in 3 months due to a decrease in the hormone. I was prescribed an antibiotic and some some results however, I am now having the Mirena removed next week. My ACNE is horrible and embarrassing. I feel like a teenager and feel self conscious at work or socializing. Just like when I was a teen. I hate it and am fed up. I get a new zit everyday. I am broken out on my face, back, neck, and arms. how gross. I do not feel attractive and can't wait to have it out. I called Planned Parenthood today just to see if I could get it out NOW. But it will have to wait until next week. I am going to look into the Nuvaring and see if that is any different. I will say the only thing I liked about Mirena was not having to worry about popping a pill everyday. Anyway, if you had acne problems before I would not recommend getting this. Sorry for the spelling but I am so frustrated right now.

I am in the same boat. My acne have flared up after 2 years of merina. I have to wait atleast for a month till I get it off of me. I have started taking doxycycline today. What antibiotic did you take? Did that help?
