My name is Ashley and I am a mother to 3 beautiful children. With my last child I had to have an emergency C-Section at 34 weeks. My doctor advised against me getting a tubal because of how premature he was. At my 6 weeks check up she basically told me my only option was to get the Essure. I knew I didnt want to have any more children and with her advice scheduled my surgery. I did not have any problems for the fist 6 months however now I have extreme periods…very painful cramps, very heavy bleeding, painful ovulation. I am tired all of the time. I look bloated atleast 2 weeks before my period to the point where I look like I could be 6 months pregnant. When lifting anything, including my 2 year old son, I have a pulling sensation from my right lower abdomen. When I cough I have an extreme pain. I want to have them removed but I know my insurance wont cover it and I dont know if they are able to with out doing a hysterectomy.
