 Posted: 01/29/07 - 10:48 Post subject: Abortion - Hormone balance - Skin Trouble |
  |
|
It is over 8 months since I terminated my pregnancy and I feel like my hormones still haven't balanced. I got an IUD fitted at the same time so I'm not sure if that is a factor, but my skin is like a teenagers ever since (I'm 29) with constant acne around my jawline, shoulders and neck and prolonged and more severe PMT each month.
Has anyone else had the same experience? Did it improve, if so how long did that take? I'm considering trying acupunture, has anyone tried this for relief from these symptoms?
Thanks |

What kind of IUD did you get? The copper one?
A LOT of women notice that their skin gets worse while on an IUD, but not because of the IUD, but because they USED to be on birth control pills which kept their skin nice.
Were you on the pill in the past? That could have kept your skin clear and nice, and now without the pill your skin has become problematic.
There is really no reason an abortion would effect your skin NOW. |

Hi Cari,
I hadn't spotted your reply - how kind of you to have taken the time.
This is the mystery - I was NOT on the pill previous to the abortion at all, and it was the Copper coil that I got (no hormones).
I've been getting acupuncture since Christmas to try to help but I've seen no improvement. I have spots down my back even - something I never had as a teenager....
If I thought taking the IUD out would solve it I would probably try that but otherwise it's a great form of contraception and I'd like to keep it...
the skin trouble started when I was pregnant and it just never went away.... |

| yes, I have experienced the some of the same problems. I had an abortion 2 years ago. Since then I have been unable to conceive. I have been seeing different infertility doctors who have ran several different tests, but still say that everything is fine. Since this abortion I have had troubles with acne, bad sinus headaches, premenstral cramps, and fatigue. In never had trouble with any of these things before. If anyone else has any thing to share please let me know. |
