I am a wife and a mother of two. After my second child I was looking for permanent birth control my doctor at that time suggested essure he explained that there was know down time from this procedure and was much easier then going through a tubal. I did at the time try to do some research on my own but, it was a new procedure at the time(2006) so not much info out about it. I decided to go ahead. Soon after I haemorrhaged and as a result of that I had a ablation . The essure was the worst decision of my life! My body has never been the same. I have headaches, joint pain,pelvic pain,lower back pain, hip pain, dizziness and the list goes on! I am so happy you started this page so other women will be able to make a informed decision . I am now facing a possible hysterectomy to get these removed.
