when i first heard about essure i was pregnant with my second child and only 24 years old. AT the time i was married and hadtwo step children and felt my family was complete so i went ahead and had the essure coils placed only a few months after my son was born. IT seemed like it all went well and no pain for about a year and a half, then i started to get a random sharp pinching feeling in my uterus area. it wasnt very often at first but then was more frequent and worse pain. ANother year went by and i was divorced and getting remarried and my new fiance wanted children, so knowing i had these coils placed we went to an ivf specialist. IHad some tests done and they said i cant do ivf if i have coils in because it can rupture the sak. so they said they could try to remove them but they have never done it before. i was kind of the guinea pig in a sense but when they went in to remove the coils the coil on the right was halfway unravelled into my uterus and stabbing the sude of it and the left side was starting to unravel so they were able to grab them and just pull them out. the doctor said i was very lucky that i came to them when i did before it unravelled more it could have prtruded through my pelvic wall. scary
