I am 37 years old and had the Essure procedure done September 2013, it is now February 2014 I have had nothing but problems with this thing. I have not quit bleeding since the procedure and the cramping is just terrible. I am constantly tired even when I have a full night sleep. I have been consulting with my OB GYN since the procedure and I am now scheduled to have a hysterectomy. I had this procedure because I had open heart surgery when I was 27 and had a mitral valve replacement which leaves me to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. I knew I could not have any more children so I choose the Essure. BIG Mistake!!! Now I have to give myself very painful shots in the stomach twice a day to counteract the blood thinners. I just want all this pain to stop.
