I was bullied by my gyn to go with Essure in 6/2007 because he refused to do temporary implanted birth control like mirena. He swore this was the safest and quickest method to do and he could do it right in his office. I scheduled it not knowing I was making the biggest mistake of my life, and was told I had to go under general anesthesia and have my procedure at the hospital. Not but 2 months after the implants were placed I began having strong abdominal pain, low and enough to take my breath away. My periods became heavier and much more painful. The worst pain was experienced when I would have a bowel movement or while my husband and I had sex any orgasm left me doubled over in excruciating pain and in tears. I could no longer have satisfying sex with me husband. In 2010 My husband and I were driving to Kentucky. I was in the drivers seat when without warning I broke into a sweat and pain began rolling in my abdomen. I hurt so much my husband had to support me walking to a bathroom. As I made it into the bathroom I sat on the toilets to be horrified by blood clots the size of an iphone 4, human tissue, and blood just pouring from outside of me. I was petrified and so was my husband. Never before had something this out of the ordinary occur. We were picking up my biological children so stopping at a hospital was not possible. For the rest of the day I had to limit my movement in fear of hemorrhageing. I stayed in pain with very little medicinal support and for two days following i kept passing clots as well as what looked like human tissue. The pain continued every moth for years. Sex was out of the question because orgasm put me in absolute tears. The abdominal pain felt as though someone was stabbing me in my ovaries and tubes. I felt alone, lost, not sure what to do until I did a search and realized there were thousands of women living my pain. I then found out the coils were made of nickel. Im very allergic to nickel. Fortunately i had these awefuel things removed by a doctor who specializes in removals. Unfortunately that service cost me $7,500 bedore expenses. Ive filed a medwatch and am happy to speak with anyone. Thanks
