I am 28 years old I had 2 boys thought I wouldn’t never have another one until I met the man of my dreams who had 3 kids of his own we then decided we wanted to have another one so now I have 3 great boys 10 8 and 6 months. I wanted a tubal and asked for one on 3 different occasions but was told by my obgyn that they did not do tubals for religous purposes and I did not know that or I would have chose a different obgyn. My obgyn went on to tell me how they (had more then one) did not recommend a tubal for me and they had a much safer and faster recovery option the essure. I had said no many times as I just wanted a tubal even after I had my baby I asked again about the tubal and my obgyn finally convinced me the essure was a better option. Well I went for the procedure which was very painful for me and the Dr had a hard time completing the procedure. Ever since the procedure I have had very painful cramping and have bled for 3 weeks to a month since the procedure which will be 4 months now. I have tried to get the 3 month screening but because I don’t stop bleeding they can not do it. Well I have contacted my dr twice on this issue and he said since they cannot control my bleeding I can A) get on the pill so hopefully stop the bleeding long enough to do the 3 month screening but he cannot be 99% postive that this will stop the bleeding and I will have to bleed and be in pain until my periods stop which will not be for another 20 to 30 years. Or B ) throw in the towel (drs words) and have a hysterectomy. I am now torn because I am young but I feel like I have no energy I’m very depressed and when I am asked why I am depressed I cannot answer the question. The pain is unbearable and if the cramping was only 7 days ok but it is all month long. So I have this new beautiful baby and 2 othe great boys that need help with homework and just need a mom but yet I can’t get out of bed and enjoy life I am miserable and this is not fair to my kids or husband I dread getting up in the morning as I’m up all night with my new baby and then when it’s time to do wife and mom duties I simply don’t want to but I have to my legs cramp up and then I get shooting pain up and down from my feet to my fingers. Again I am miserable and have never been like this till after having the essure. So no ‘throwing in the towel’ I feel like I am a quitter because I can’t handle the pain. I was never told all the side effects or that I would have to receive a hysterectomy to remove the coils. I was also told it didn’t matter if I was allergic to nickel I would have a slim chance of having a reaction. I feel lied to and betrayed. I don’t know what to do with my self or life anymore. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BIRTH CONTROL TO ANYONE.
