Birth Control
"I had my mirena placed at the end of May. An hour before my appointment I took 800mg of ibuprofen and ate a small breakfast. The pain during the placement wasn&#039;t bad, some cramps for maybe a minute (but I also have a child). I was on the last day of my menstrual cycle and barely had any bleeding from mirena. I went off birth control pills because my mood was horrible, I was always on edge and since switching I feel more like myself. My acne has gotten worse and I just finally saw a dermatologist. I got 2 creams and spironolactone to help with my hormonal acne. If you&#039;ve had acne previous to placement I would recommend seeking treatment from the start instead of suffering to see if it clears as time goes on. Other than that I feel great!"
