I had it done in 2010 it took them 45 min to get the right side in. Left side was no prob. After I left I was in so much pain like I was in labor. That was the start of a 5 month prob of constant bleeding and cramps. It was horrible. after three trips to the doctor and almost weekly phone calls to the doctor of complaining to her that something was wrong she did a ablsion to stop bleeding. I have never felt normal since having the essure, I am constantly tired. cramps,still bleeding not everyday but it’s still there. Come to find out the doctor put the right side in wrong and didn’t even tell me. I was told that the only way to feel better is to have a hysterectomy. I am 41 and know that I won’t have more children but I don’t want to take hormones for the rest of my life. Please don’t have this done its a bad way of birth control. It was told to me that it was a piece of cake it wasnt and I wish I would of never done It. The doctor didn’t even tell me all of the side effects that could possibly happen..
