    those who get hormonal pimples normally - improved or worsened in 1st trimester?

    I am prone to getting a few nasty pimples when I get PMS, especially around my jawline. Very curious to see what happens when I get UTD!!

    My skin has cleared up a bit, I'd usually get a breakout around ovulation, and another at AF, so I'd be lucky to have a week of totally pimple free skin. Now I only get a few spots here and there. My skin is clearer than before though, a more even tone, and it definately has a healthy glow now too

    ive been lucky and never realy gotten pimples, but with this baby ive gotten them, and bad!! its odd as i never had a problem with the other 3, but this time from about 8 weeks they started popping up and i have a lot of little ones arround my jaw and the side of my face (they kind of blend in with my frecles, so thats ok i guess!) but the last 2 weeks, there have been a few big ones show up on my forhead and one yesterday on my cheek, NOT HAPPY!
    i guess theres no guarentee of telling how bad you will get them, if you even will, untill they come threw.
    good luck with your testing in a few days, fingers crossed!!!

    Oh I had terrible acne I'm prone with any hormonal changes (like the pill) but I was terrible with DD2 until about mid-way. They were so sore! Hope you can avoid it but mine did clear up finally - just resist the urge to pop! LOL - I can't and I scar terrible

    Thanks ladies... and good for you PZ.. nothing like that healthy glow
    I guess I'll probably be like my mum and my pimples will reflect my hormones until I have gone through menopause!!

    I cleared up in the first trimester, but now I seem to get them when my period is due. Its weird, every 25-28 days I'll get a breakout! And I'm 29 weeks pregnant!!

    I'm the same as PZ, usually had a breakout at the time of ovulation and again at af and since becoming pregnant I have had no pimples at all! I'm really loving it, my skin looks beautiful even if I do say so myself

    However, when pregnant with DS I continued to get acne, so it really is different each time!
