Hello my name is kristen I’m a 27yr old mother of 2 from indiana. I had essure placed after my 2nd child in April of 13. After my dr praised it to be #1. I stupidly and blindly followed. I woje up with severe cramping and nausea little did I know that was only the beginning of my nightmare. My hair started falling out, I started bruising without any reason I had severe cramping and bleeding that caused me to pass out. I went to my dr several times and he blew me off so I found someone new and my coils had migrated causing my fallopian tube to damage and my uterus to become damaged. Mt new dr says I’m lucky I didn’t get toxic shock syndrome!? I was devastated to learn that I would need a complete hysterectomy on 11/07/13. I’m now on the mend but it still isn’t fair what was taken from me. This has permantely changed my life forever and only time will tell if ill ever fully recover not only physically but mentally.
