 Mirena
Ok so it is ok to have the Mirena with PCOS? I was reading up on it last night and came across a few sites that said you should never have it since one of it's side effects is ovarian cysts(we have enough of a problem with those already). I have had my Mirena in for a yr now, and have recently started breaking out bad. Also I started exercising 3-4 days a week doing 40 mins of cardio and some strength training, in two months I have only lost 5lbs. I have read that the Mirena can cause weight gain, acne and headaches. I have all of the above and have been freaking out all day about getting this thing outta me. I don't have many other BC options since the pill makes me a total you know what and my DH is allergic to spermicide and I have a latex allergy(what a great couple we are huh, lol).
I also take 1000mg met a day when i remember too. I am going to try and switch to the XR so I only have to take it once a day and at night.
It's nice to hear other women out there have this IUD an PCOS, a yr ago I couldn't find anyone.
