I have had the Mirena since Aug 2007. Since i have had this, I had gotten acne cysts, moodiness, and lack of sex drive. i though i just may still be having PMS without having my period, but now i'm thinking it's the implant. I also keep yeast infections and discharge due to too much hormones being absorbed. (my gyno said that sometimes it may look like a yeast infection whe if fact it is extra progesterone coming out) she gave me a very low dose of estrogen and it seemed to help) but recently i have started antibiotics for my acne which in turn gave me a yeast infection (joy joy). thinking about having it removed and going with nuvaring cause its actually costing me more money than what i'd be spending on the pill (dermatologist appointments, diflucan RX, acne meds) i think the cons are outweighing the pros at the moment. Has anyone else experienced yeast infections? i don't see anyone that has posted it yet.

Yes, I think I've had more yeast infections with this in that ever before I actually have to keed a box in the freezer for just in case. I got my Mirena in April 2007. I'm now just feeling the lack of sex part and getting more headaches which I've never had before. Thinking about getting my tubes tied, but like the fact that you really don't bleed while having this in. Best of luck to you.
