I had the essure put in 08′ after I had the Mirena taken out due to complications with that. I thought why not, I have my 1 child I wanted, settled in my relationship, and didnt want to go back on the pill. My doctor convinced me , I was ready to be done the inexpensive way or so I thought. For the first couple years things seemed ok nothing to out of the ordinary, longer periods, heavier bleeding but not the worst. Each year it kept getting worse painful intercourse was the worst. Killed my love life with my boyfriend. It felt like I was being stabbed and my ovaries always felt like they were being ‘yanked on’ . Had ultra sounds done and they kept telling me everything looked fine. This past year in 2012 I had enough my doctor did a laparoscopy and I learned more, to some it up he said I had massive scar tissue and cysts and recommended a partial hysterectomy. Im only 34! I did the surgery because I couldnt take the pain and b.s I was going through every month yet. Since Ive had the surgery the symtoms has disapated, no pain during intercourse but now I am going through early menopause, which comes with a whole new set of problems. I cant win. I now know other women have been experiencing the same things and I’m not alone. I’d like to hear from others and what the next step is………………
