I thought getting the essure was the best birth control for me. I had three children and knew I was not wanting any more it was a newer form out I thought I would give it a go. Sad thing is starting from the appointment to have this done, an procedure I was told was fast and pain less took 2 hours and very painful,since this I have had major headaches, lower back and hip cramping,weight gain and bloated looks like I’m 5 months pregnant. So in November 2012 I went to a new doctor who could not find anything wrong with the essure but did find large ovarian cysts mind you I never had this issue in my life. I still continue dealing with headachs,cramps,fatigue and weight gain. I have checked into my insurance to have them removed and they will not cover the cost! I’m so upset with feeling like this since 2010 and being told I’m just going to have to deal with it. I hope my store helps another to do research on this and read other women’s stories before you make a life changing decision.
