My story started two years ago, after I found I was pregnant with my second son. During my pregnancy I decided to get my tubes tied after my son was born, well me and my doctor talked about it and he is Catholic so it was outta the question for him, but he referred me to a doctor who would.. I made appointment to get my tubes tied, while going over the options,I was introduced to the essure procedure, as my doctor explained to me that this is the best option due to the fact that it can be done in the office and is non invasive procedure, I was told it was more effective than a traditional ligation, I didn’t know about essure never heard of it, so when doctor explained it I was all for it, I have two boys under age of 6 and a stay at home mom, so I couldn’t do down time. My doctor assured me she has never had any problems with the essure device, so I was scheduled in March of 2012, it all went well, I had my doctor and a nurse plus a guy from essure was also in the room. Left insertion went fine, when it came time for the right side for some reason it hurt so bad I started crying, the essure rep, then informed my doctor that the water in bag ran out, he ended up changing it due to the fact she was in my tube. Well immediately after I felt like I was contracting, my doctor gave me some pain pills and said it would go away. I kept having problems with bleeding excessively, clotting bad and having excruciating pain, periods lasted a month at a Time, as time went on my problems got worse, I was always in and out of er, dr office, with same issues such as pelvic pain and abdominal pain also infections in my female area. I also started discharging black and brown all the time, started having pain after sex, fever, chills, sweats, hot flashes, frequent urination, nausea, mood swings, bladder infection, kidney infection, uti, yeast infection, bv, ibs syndrome, light headed, the list goes on and on, I battled wwith my doctor to listen to me and please give me a hysterectomy, she refused and said we can figure out what it is because she knows its not these coils she put inside of me.. tried all kinds of meds nothing worked, always had some kind of infection down there but blood work showed no issues but my uterus was inflammed according to ultra sound, well after my doctor not believing me for two years I wAs referred to a doctor who might give me the hysterectomy I wanted. I seen the new doctor twice before she decided to go ahead and do my surgery, as of October 23rd 2014, I no longer have these devices and all my problems have mysteriously vanished, but it was never related to essure, please take these damn things off the market…
