I had the Essure procedure when my Son was 6 Weeks old (July 2013). After I awoke from the procedure I was in Constant Pain, it felt like Menstrual Cramps mixed with Labor Contractions, I was also passing blood clots all day everyday. I contacted my Doctor and was ‘assured’ it was normal and would pass. I had the ‘Confirmation xray’ 3 months later, it revealed that one of the coils had moved inside one tube and the other coil had Turned sideways and had a loop in the middle of it ‘like the loop of a rollercoaster’. My Doctor said he had NEVER seen that happen but the dye stayed in my uterus and none passed into my tubes. The Doctor again reassure me the pain would pass and I wasn’t able to have anymore children. I was pleased because my Husband and I have a 4 Year old Daughter and a 1 Year old Son. Our family was complete. Needless to say a Year later, I STILL have the Pain and now I am 3 Months Pregnant with TWINS! My Doctor was shocked when he walked in the ultrasound room and saw me sitting there. He ‘made’ a joke and asked why I was there… All I could say was ‘Next time you should listen to your patients when they say want the ‘old time tubal’.
