My Essure procedure was scheduled for 11/30/12. I had done research prior to considering Essure and was prepared to deal with the side effects as mentioned on both the Essure and Mayo Clinic websites. I also have a friend who had the procedure within the past year and she (to date) has had no problems at all. When I read the testimonials on this page and the Facebook pages, I immediately started shaking. I referred my husband to these pages and together we agreed it was not worth the risk. With slightly less than 24 hours before I was to have this done, I cancelled the procedure. I feel like it is the best decision I have ever made.
Thank you to you women who are sharing your stories and sheading light on the serious complications associated with Essure. I’m so sorry that you are going through this, but so thankful that I found your testimonies before it was too late for me.
