Re: Mirena Side Effects, particularly acne...

I hope things improve after your Mirena removal.

The day I had mine removed, because I had such severe vaginal dryness, having the speculum inserted for removal was horrible!  The person that had originally inserted my Mirena had cut the strings too short, so 90% of the time they didn't hang down out of my cervix, and my new gyn had to go fishing for the IUD in my uterus, because she couldn't find the strings!  I would have had it removed nearly a month prior if it hadn't been for that, but my doctor's office didn't have the tool necessary to recover it.  And my gyn had enough difficulties as it was - if she hadn't managed to grab it that final time, I would have had to have had it surgically removed.

Boy was I glad when THAT was over!
