No, not medically!: Most of your symptoms are attributable to the hormone levonorgestrel (a synthetic progesterone) in your Mirena IUD. Now, if your co-worker is particularly difficult to work with, she may be contributing to your headaches & mood swings, but this notion that her hormones are so strong that other women sync to her cycle is incorrect.

Took Plan B 30 hours after unprotected sex, had my mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted 2 days later. I've had horrible bloating. Will all these hormones effect my period?

Mirena (levonorgestrel) was put in 6 years ago for very heavy periods. Not needed for birth control bc I had tubes tied. Now I have hormonal acne. Is the IUD to blame?
