i have not experienced yeast infections. i cannot lose weight even when i go to the gym. have you had your glucose levels tested? i have noticed an extreme sensitivity to sugar. mirena can mess with your glucose levels. if your glucose levels are high then you can get yeast infections easier and often. i dont have acne, but my hair is always oily. i never had that problem in my life. if your glucose levels are off it can affect your weight too.

I have but never taught is was mirena but ever since i have went into this website i have figured it's not me in the past I had never suffered from Acne but know my cheeks are really bad and not to be nasty but on the lower part of my stomach close to my part i get this big but i mean big pimples they are like the size of a quarter and they hurt really bad im hoping monday i get it taken out for life

I had the reoccuring vaginal infections and the Acne ! I had mine inserted in 3/06 and within 1 month I started with them and the infections didnt go away until it was removed in 2/07. The Acne went away shortly after removal. I have a slight case of Roseacea which didnt come on until I got that dreaded device. I also had depression, extremem fatigue, memory loss, hair loss, no sex drive and had some wacky things going on with my blood tests. It showed my red blood cells were not living their normal 90-120 days and my billirueben counts were ridiculously high. I had to go see an oncologist ! Do you know how scary it is to walk into a cancer doctors ?? All my blood work started coming back normal in May which is when my cycles returned to normal. I guess thats when it was out of my system. But I'm sure dr's would say it had nothing to do with the Mirena. Right docs, we believe you. *roll eyes*

Hi. I had my little girl back in April and I got mirena 6 weeks later. Since then and just recently I had a steady period. And now that the periods are monthly I have started getting yeast infections. I have had one about every other week the past month. I have also had anxiety and dipression alot lately, and have even found that my wrist hurts all the time now, it like carpel tunel. I plan to have this taken out and im trying to find a way to get out of the costs from getting my G/OB to do it.

Hi!

I've everything the same except acne.

Just had the pleasure of experiencing my first yeast infection since mine was inserted in January 2008. The Acne is HORRIBLE. My doctor put me on some face cream that takes 6 weeks for it to work, haven't seen a change yet. I'm gonna try the proactive. I have noticed everytime my cycle starts the pads aggravate my skin down there and makes it itch and burn. I have had some weight gain, but that is hard to say if it was the Mirena or the lack of exercise.

I have noticed that my "pre" menstrual state is pretty bad. I get REALLY bloated and retain water pretty bad, and I stay pretty moody.
