Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Paragard and acne?

I couldn't find a "contraception" board, but my daughter is almost 1 year old, so thought I'd throw it in here... 

 

Anyone on Paragard?  I had one between #2 and #3 and liked it for the most part, aside from heavier more painful periods.  I got another one last summer when my daughter was 6 months old, and have had serious acne on my forehead ever since!  I just recently thought about the timing and possible association.  I've had normal skin most of my life, this is definitely the worst it's ever been.  Anyone else experience this??

Re: Paragard and acne?

  • My daughter is a little over a year old and I am having the same problem but on my cheeks.  It sucks!  It's like I'm going through puberty again.  I never had any problems with my skin while pregnant.
  • Do you have Paragard, as well?  My skin was also very clear during pregnancy.  I thought I'd be beyond this at 35 years old!!

  • Yes, I have a Paragard.  I was expecting the cramps and heavier bleeding, but not acne again.
  • That's strange, since Paraguard doesn't have any hormones, it shouldn't affect you like that. Maybe it's a post-partum thing?

  • I have Paragard and haven't noticed any bad acne. I had terrible breakouts when I was pregnant and am very thankful they've gone away!
