I had the Mirena inserted in October 2003 because BCPs no longer worked reliably with another med I take. I love it! My periods got lighter and lighter---it's been great. A month ago however, I was put BACK on BCP, Ortho Cyclen, for acne, because my face was much clearer when I was on the pill. We figured that we might as well give something that worked a shot again before moving on to other options--- However, I just had a much longer, heavier period than I've had for months. Has anyone else experienced this? By any chance at all? Hopefully?
