I had the Esure procedure done in 2010 and I wish I could go back to that day and tell my Obgyn to just put me on the IUD.
At the time, I was 32 with one child. I was a single parent and was ok with only having one child. I went to my Dr and he raved about the Esure coils, stating that recovery time would be quicker then any other permermant birth control method. Being a single parent, that was my #1 concern. I have to work. Had the procedure done on a Friday….went back to work on a Tuesday. For the first 2 years….it was woman bliss! No cramping. No periods. I loved it.
Today, 4 years to the exact date, I just left my Dr’s office scheduling my surgery for a hysterectomy. I have never in my life experienced so much cramping and pain. I was hospitalized for 2 days with severe pain….and now we know a almost deadly reaction to the nickel in the coils, for I am allergic to nickel.
Sometimes, what seems like a quick and easy way to handle a situation is the worst. I wouldnt wish this type of experience to my worst enemy.
