I had the Essure implants inserted in 2011 and I wish I would have known then what the potential side effects would be. I have experienced multiple side effects over the past 4 years and have spent 1000’s of dollars in medical expenses. Everything from CT Scans, MRI, Ultrasounds and multiple rounds of bloodwork. My symptoms include severe pain in my sides and back, severe bleeding during my menstrual cycle, increased migraine headaches, ovarian cysts, extreme nausea especially during my menstrual cycle and more. I had none of these symptoms prior to having the Essure coils implanted. None of these side effects were mentioned prior to having this procedure and my Dr. acted as if there could be no correlation once they started. Within about 4 weeks of having the coils inserted, I began experiencing side effects. I decided to have this procedure rather than having my tubes tied because of the recovery time. I wish now that I would have gone with the more invasive procedure up front!
