hi, I had Mirena put in Sept. 08. I had bad acne for about 3 months. never had acne before. It went away. I have ringing in my ears almost everyday. I have been bleeding since I had it put in. I think altogether i've stopped bleeding for 3 weeks. I too was told how safe and reliable this was. I've had 3 kids and I don't want anymore kids right now. I thought this would be the best choice. I am going to call the doctor to have mine removed. My feet are swollen also.
