I am a 24-year-old mother of two. My oldest is 6 and my youngest is almost 2. I got the Essure on December 27, 2011. My procedure went well I recovered fairly quickly. When I started to feel better is when the problems began. January of 2012 I started getting fainting spells and this light headed dizzy feeling. This continued and progressed to dizzy headache neck pain. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for it but isn’t helping. My periods come every other month and not without excruciating pain. Pain that radiated through the whole lower abdomen and even down my thighs. I still have a sex drive but sometimes the pain is so bad I don’t want to do anything but curl up and sleep. The periods I do get are filled with large blood clots. Getting the Essure is probably the worst decision Ive ever made and I encourage other women to just choose abstinence or another birth control. I WANT THIS THING OUT.
