im moody.

and feeling like an idot right now. !!girly stuff alert!!

some of you know that i got an IUD this past spring. well its been great untill recently. well, today actually.

for the past month or so, ive had serious acne on my face and neck. bad, worse than i had when i was a kid. and they arent just pimples, they are huge cysts. and im a picker, i cant help it. so ive got this lovely crater/pizza face look going and make up isnt helping.

well i just realized what the culprit is. its the freeking IUD. its a progesterone based one and any person who studied endocrinology for 6 freeking years would know that progesterone is a precursor for testosterone. and testosterone can over stimulate sebaceous glands and upregulated testosterone+over activated sebaceous glands=pimples!!!!!

im pissed. i was soooo excited and this thing was supposed to be great, but guess what, id rather take an extra pill every day than deal with having acne this bad.

and the sad part is that im even more hormonal now than i was before and when i figured out this whole testosterone/IUD connection, i started to cry.

i guess i will be making some doctor visits in the next few weeks. sigh.
