Hello, I just wanted to share how difficult life has been due to these coils. My Dr. insists the problems I am having have nothing to do with the device. However, I feel differently. I was one of the blessed women who never had PMS or any pain or symptoms related to my period. That changed about 11 months after I had the Essure procedure. It all started with horrible pain. Really heavy and painful periods, pain with sex, hip pain and the list goes on. I had an ultrasound and they said the coils were in the right spot, and were not the source of my pain. The Dr. went on to tell me I could have a hysterectomy but it might not take away my pain. He then said I should try physical therapy (not sure how that works when it is your ovaries that hurt) and that there is not much else they can do for me. I thought I could ignore the pain, but if this is how I will be for the rest of my life I am not sure I can handle it. If you are thinking about getting permanent birth control DO NOT HAVE THE ESSURE PROCEDURE DONE!!!!!!! I am almost 100% sure you will have problems.
