If you didn't get a chance to read my first post, check it out! You can learn a little bit about your IUD options and what I found regarding the topic.

One Month Later:

It's been a month since my Mirena inseriton and I'm loving it. It's so nice not having to remember to take a pill every day! I haven't had any spotting since the insertion and we'll see what happens in the next few weeks if I get my period or not.

I haven't really noticed any mood changes yet (not out of the ordinary anyways!) and it's hard to tell if I've felt any bloating or weight gain. With it being the middle of the holidays, it's literally impossible to know if it's the Mirena or the piles of Christmas cookies I've been eating that have lead to any weight gain (which is only a couple of pounds so I'm really not worried at this point). I have noticed a few pesky pimples that have been hanging around my "hormone zone" on my face...right below the apple of my cheek and on my chin. But again, those were normal before. I'm also dealing with some severe dry skin on the bottom half of my face (what could be referred to as the "chin strap" area), but that could also be attributed to the frigid weather we're dealing with. So I'll pop back in a month or so to update how things are progressing and at that point I might be able to identify the start of some trends if any come about.

See ya!

Roam On!
