I had the essure done in January, 2010. I have been suffering from many issues since then but never put 2 & 2 together until I came across a story on a local news channel. Prior to the essure procedure I had my 4th child and decided that I did not want to have any more children. I talked to my Doctor about the options I had. He suggested the essure procedure. I was all for it since it was done in the clinic and seemed pretty easy and painless. After the procedure I thought “this is great”. Until I got my period. I had severe cramping for a week prior to bleeding then bled heavily for a week, passing large clots and had massive cramping. At those times I wasn’t able to leave my house much less the toilet. I literally had my cycle 3 weeks per month after a week of feeling ok it would start all over again. I had some trips to the ER that found nothing. I had numerous trips to see my Dr. He put me back on birth control pills to try and regulate things. After months of pain, heavy bleeding, headaches, fatigue, loss of balance my doctor suggested a full hysterectomy leaving only my left ovary. I had my hysterectomy in February of 2014.
