I had the Essure proceedure done aproximatley in October of 2012. No one ever told me there would be coils involved from what I can remember, in fact I thought that it was a gelatin like substance that was going to harden. I swear this is what I was told. Even my sister and mother were surprised when I said the OBGYN said later they were coils because none of us remember that being the proceedure. Anyways I was also never warned the coil could eject it’s self or migrate anywhere. I thought the Essure was working properly until I became pregnant in 2015 with my youngest son (who is fine btw). It took almost 4 months for me to realize I was pregnant because I was under the impression my Essure was safe, and was 99.99% effective. It wasn’t. This year (2016) Finally the OBGY checked my Essure AFTER the birth of my child and found the left spring had ejected it’self out the filopian tube, backwards and is now sitting right in front of my bowl and right behind the cervix. Never did anyone take any X-rays to check my device I didn’t realize was there after the initial surgery was perfromed. Now I have o have a Laproscopy and have my boy cut up and invaded to remove the left coil. The right one is in place and functioning properly but now I wiah it wasn’t there at all. I didn’t want a Laproscopy in the first place which is why I didn’t get a Tubular Visectomy. I wanted a safe proceedure without invasive surgery. I do not know if it is related or not but for that last two years I have felt very lethargic and just plain fatigued. I also have abnormal cells on my cervix and am at he 3rd warning level meaning close to cancer. I now have to have my cervix frozen. Again I do not know if that is or is not related to the coils. I am also really angry because none of the radiologists did their job during the pregnancy. No one noticed or looked for the Essure like my doctor ordered them to. No one cared about the safety of my son. I love my son but I already had 4 children and did not want anymore. I cannot afford daycare now and can’t work because it’s too expensive. I spend my entire day caring for the baby and breast feeding because I love my kids and always give them the best care but I feel like I now have hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenses I wouldn’t have had if not for Essure’s failure. I also now don’t know if other complications will arise from having a Laproscopy and if I will now have perminent scars and medical issues or not. I am angry the Essure people and my doctor never warned me they were coils or that it could migrate or move. I am lucky my child is safe and so far I am reasonably safe but if they do not remove the coil it could migrate into my bowl. I want Essure held responsible for all my loses, medical bills and the pain and suffering of the fear and the costs associated with losin my ability to work from having another child.
