Had this procedure done about 3 years ago due to the fact that no other birth control would be offered for me due to being overweight, over the age of 33 and a smoker. Now wish I would have bypassed this procedure. Since the past year I have noticed that my periods are getting heavier and are coming more frequent and am always nauseated when I have them, severe pelvic cramping even when not on my period, headaches are becoming more frequent as well. Now I am starting to struggle with severe lower back pain that either has me where i cant stand up straight or bend over. I have lost weight not from procedure but to try to get my self healthier. Not sure if what I have mentioned above is coming from this procedure but never had these problems or suffered through this before I had done. Now with no health insurance cant go to find out for sure right now. Hopefully soon I can go and see if this procedure has caused these effects. But as of right now knowing Im going through this and reading that other women are having similar symptoms I would tell any one who is thinking of having this done please go another route, not this one. As I am writing this I’m on my second period in less than 4 weeks and having severe back pain.
