I had Essure placed in April 2010. Following the surgery I bled for two straight weeks. My Doctor said “Oh that’s normal”. I come to find out it wasn’t normal. The three month follow-up ‘confirmed” that my tubes were blocked. On Friday November 30th 2012, I found out that I’m pregnant with baby number 3. This goes to show that Essure is not fool proof nor is it effective.
