I had the Essure procedure on 9/21/12. I started my period that day and as of today it has not stopped (1/11/13). I was not able to go to the imaging appointment because I was still bleeding, and about a month after my procedure my Doctor left town for another position in another state. Because of not having insurance I am having to wait to see a different Doctor. I’m not sure what the new Doctor will tell me, but I fear a hospital stay is in my future (with blood transfusion).
I have 3 children and a husband that works midnight shifts, so I’m afraid of having to stay in the hospital overnight. I have also had some of the other symptoms I’ve read about like hot flashes, stomach pain, mood swings, weight gain and back pain. The pain is not bad but it should not still be present if everything was done right and the product is safe. I went to the Essure web sight and they say nothing about side effects like I have had. I am getting to the point that I want this out NOW. If there is something wrong with this thing they should take it off the market to keep others from suffering, but they make money on it so they wont.
