I have no desire to have children. It’s not my journey. I have been using the Mirena IUD for 7 years now and am happy enough, but wanted a more permanent solution. I heard about Essure and was giving it great consideration. But thanks to your website, and the stories of them women on here, my answer is ‘Hell NO!’ I have never liked the idea of a foreign object in my body, and your information confirms just how bad of an idea it really is. Thank you for being an advocate for women, being an advocate for me.
