I had essure implant in 2008 after my last baby. And within a year I was pregnant. I had the pregnancy taken out and went for a repeat dye test. This came back negative, that is the essure was in its proper place. To my utmost disappointment, I got pregnant again within months. I had to have a second abortion which I am regretting and unhappy about.
In addition to getting pregnant twice after being assured that the essure implant was successful, I am now dealing with serious allergic reaction to dyes (particularly red and yellow). This reaction is mainly on my face. My face used to be without blemish. NOW, it is always a struggle every morning to leave the house to go to work because of the severity of the acne-like nodules on my face. I am so sad, depressed, unhappy and above all do not any iota of self confidence or self esteem because of my face. I just discovered that it could be the 2 dye tests that triggered something off in my body.
Finally, after the second pregnancy, I had to go for a tubal ligation.
