I decided that the Essure procedure would be the best for me out of the options my doctor recommended. I went through with the procedure in November of 2011. In January of 2012, after my follow up appointment i had my first cycle and bled for almost a month and a half. I have periods so heavy that i bleed through tampons and overnight pads, I also have blood clots that are the size of my fist. I currently go months without having a cycle, so i never know when im going to start. I have the worst migraines,fatigue, and i always look and feel bloated. When im on my period i dont leave the house unless i absolutely have to.Before the procedure i lived an active, healthy lifestyle. It seems like everything i try doesnt help with the symptoms. This procedure has changed my life in a negative way, i would now rather have requested a hysterectomy than have to deal with living like this.
