I couldn’t believe what I was hearing on the news tonight. Before they ever said what the birth control was, I knew because I was experiencing similar symptoms. I am not having chronic pain like some, but lately things have been different. I had the Essure procedure in January 2010 and I didn’t have any problems until this year. The first thing I noticed was that during my menstrual period, I was only bleeding on one side. I thought, ‘that’s weird’. Then my cramps became very painful every month and there was very heavy bleeding and more clotting than normal. I am scheduled to see my doctor in a few weeks for all of these reasons, but I had no idea that so many women were going through this. I thought it was just me. Thank you so much for bringing this to the public.
