Hi, my name is Iris. I had the Essure procedure done April of 2009. From the start I’ve had horrible lower back pain and menstrual pain. My periods were very heavy and lasts for a week. Then in 2012, I found out I was pregnant! My baby was born 3 months prematurely and had to stay in the NICU for 2 months. My Dr never ever saw the Essure in any ultrasound or at time of delivery! I’m totally not happy with this form of ‘permanent’ birth control!
