    I went off the pill (off it a few months now) and it has caused my skin to go (semi) bad my hair to get oily and i'm moody
    Its annoying like going back to my teenage years.

    I'm getting the mirena fitted but I'm wondering as it has hormones as well would I still get the side effects as in good skin and disappearance of pms and all the rest
    Because to be honest I would rather stay on the pill if I meant these symptoms would go away
    Any body have any experiences this is really bothering me and I need advice

    IT has about 1/5 of the dose of hormones that is in the oral contraceptive and it is targeted directly to the area it need to be instead of flooding the rest of you system wth it.

    In some cases you periods will stop completely so that will mean no pms.
    I don't know about the skin question tbh you shoudl talk to your gp about it.
