Holly breakout!! Anyone else?

Ok I am officially annoyed with this hormone thing. I break out a little before AF shows and I can deal with that. However a day or so before my bfp I broke out and I mean broke out. All the little zits on my face, up my neck and all over my chest. Then about a week after my m/c there it was again. I chalked it up to hormones regulating and just dealt with it. Well IT'S BACK and so so so gross. I can' even wear shirts I have to wear turtle necks if I want to cover it up. My manager even asked my last time if it was an allergic reaction to something. I feel ugly!!

Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks ladies!

I break out horrible after a miscarriage on my back/shoulders. Its disgusting. My entire back is horrible right now.

Your hormones are all out of whack so that's probably causing it to happen.

These past two weeks i've had horrible breakouts. And I mean horrible. Its just the added progesterone. AF should be here today.

I had few nasty breakouts too. They would happen after my m/c's, right before AF for 2 or 3 cycles.

For me, it calms down after a few cycles.

Try not to rush to the store and buy the strongest acne medication you can find, you will only dry it out and make it worse. Keep cleansing day and night and using an oil free moisturizer. I also added a toner to my routine. I hope it goes away soon.

After my m/c I've had horrible breakouts.  The worst of it is on my back, which I've never really had prior.  It's disgusting and painful too.  I finally asked about it at my yearly last week and she gave me Rx antibiotics for it.  You shouldn't take it while pg because it can cause discolored teeth in baby, but when you're following your cycles as closely as we are, you just stop taking them as soon as you know you're PG.  So, I'm waiting till the end of the week when I'll know for sure that this cycle is a bust.  She said if you use it for a month and go off of it, it could go away forever...I'm hoping!!

Ever since my loss, I have had a ridiculous amount of pimples... non-stop, not just at a certain part of my cycle It sucks.

For the last two cycles, which have both lasted (or will last) over 35 days, I have had CRAZY acne all over my face, back/shoulders and some on my chest. It's awful. Nothing I seem to do seems to be working. I'm really hoping that my next cycle (if I am unlucky to have one) will be more normal and get the acne under control too.

thanks ladies! Def sounds like I am no the only one. Ugh it's so gross but I don't want to treat it with anything. I am hoping it just sort of goes away.

Sign me up for the "this is what it feels like to be 15 again" train! Wait - I take that back bc I never had breakout like this before my first m/c. I thought it was my face wash but nope, nothing is helping. Awesome......

I also had a horrible break out starting at BFP that only got worse after M/C...  The worst was the pimples on my chest... I *never* had pimples on my chest before.  Yuck.
