I had the Essure implant 10 months ago, and from the beginning, it was not what I expected. The doctor said I would have light cramping and bleeding for a few days. I had heavy cramping and bleeding for three weeks. Since the procedure, I am almost contstantly in pain. I relate to those women who are reporting that their insides feel like they are on fire. I have asked my doctor (Kaiser) about it, and she says it is not from the essure procedure. The CT scan after the procedure showed that the tubes were in the correct place. I am going back to the doctor today, and insisting that they do more diagnostics. Since the procedure, my discharged went from bloody, to clear mucous, to white mucous with blood clots, back again to clear and blood, and now it’s yellowish white with blood. I know it’s not an infection because there is no odor. But it is not ‘normal,’ as my doctor has suggested either. I’m in pain all the time…my abdomen, and back are killing me right now. I know my body, and something is not right. It all started with the Essure procedure. There is no way that I would even consider doing it again.
