Hello! I am currently 30 years old and had the Essure procedure done almost 5 years ago, 4-6 weeks after giving birth to my son. Since having the procedure done I have experienced occasional abdominal cramping, blood clots associated with my menstrual cycle, fatigue, tiredness, headaches, abdominal pain during intercourse and dizziness. In the back of my mind I always thought the implants were to blame, however to date this has not been determined by doctors. Within the past two years I have endured two blood transfusions due to blood loss and one of these times had to be hospitalized. My current options thrown arouns to me are to undergo a hysterectomy or tube removal, none of which is appealing. I simply wish to have the coil implants removed as this has really taken a toll on me emotionally and I try to battle each day the best I can. After reading so many stories from other women affected by this implant device I truly beleive this to be the cause of my emotional and physical pain.
