I had essure done in 2009 after my 3rd child. After about a few months of the implant my periods are heavy and can last up to 2 1/2 wks. I have since been in and out of the er because heart palpitations, uncontrollable chest pains side pains along with to going in the arms and legs. Had several chest xrays, testing in gallbladder, liver and bloodbwork . got hooked up to IV for pain meds and blood work. They keep saying its panic/anxiety attacks but I know my body and never had these problems until a few months after the implant. So, only thing that makes matters worse is Dr’s won’t listen and no insurance and can’t afford to get them out. I just hope other women are aware of the side effects of this essure that they say is the best option. Not in my book it wasn’t. Just wish I could get them out. I know everyone’s body is different, but hate to hear the way a lot of women are having the same symptoms. Bless u for doing what u do on researching and reaching out to women that are having issues with this.
