I was reading about your stories on the Essure. Well, here’s mine. I had the essure put in June 2013 after I had my daughter. I had 3 devastating miscarriages before her, went through hell to get her here and didn’t want to go through any heartache ever again like that. So I opted for the essure. My doctor said he could only put it in the right tube as the left was already completely blocked with endometriosis. Within a few months of having it inserted I would get horrible pains where the coil was. They were so bad that I couldn’t move or hardly breathe. I was paralyzed with pain! If I exercised, moved around too much, over did it at all, I was in excruciating pain! In May 2014 I got pregnant even though the Dr said I couldn’t. Sadly I miscarried at 5 weeks. The exact thing I had essure put in, to prevent. Then in the fall of 2014 I got pregnant AGAIN and my fertility specialist confirmed that I ovulated from the side WITH THE ESSURE!!! The pregnancy was going well at first but sadly I lost that baby at 14 1/2 weeks. I am still devastated a month later and although I would never wish my baby boy’s life away or take back the time I had with him, this is exactly why I wanted ‘fixed’. So I wouldn’t have to go through another loss. When we found out I miscarried the Dr told me the only way NOW to prevent pregnancy was to completely remove my tubes. I feel lost and empty as a woman. I have my uterus and ovaries, yes, but no tubes. And can’t help but feel incomplete. I had a D&C to remove my son’s body and on the same day I had surgery to remove my tubes. It was the hardest and most painful (emotionally and physically) 2 weeks of my life!!! PLEASE help stop Essure and keep other women from going through this. If you get it put in to NOT miscarry for again and NOT go through all of that pain, and it doesn’t work, what’s the point?! Then to have a dr tell you that since it didn’t work now they have to take part of you out…forever. It’s just not right. I will never be the same. I am only 32 and have to live with all of this for the rest of my life. I have 5 babies now in heaven and want to help this from happening to other woman. Thank you for taking the time to read my story I hope it helps in your fight and gets justice for women everywhere who have been affected by the Essure.
Thanks for sharing your story too Heidi! Many women will be inspired to take the fight with you. I hope you are now OK. Essure is a thing of the devil. Women, do not get this!
