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??

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!
