After having my third child my husband and I decided our family was complete. We had two beautiful little girls, and we finally got out little boy. =) I was not able to take birth control with hormones in it so after a short conversation with my gynecologist at the time he suggest essure. He made it sound wonderful! He talked me out of having my tubes tide (which is what I REALLY wanted!) I had the essure placed in August 2011. It’s been the worst decision I’ve ever made! By 3013 I was always tired, having back problems, my periods became very heavy and abdnormal (I had always been lucky with 4 day/ mild periods), heart palpitations, stomach cramps, dizzy spells, low immune system (I’m always sick now =/). Unfortunately as a mother I just feel like I’m letting my kids down by the decision I made. The way I feel I dont wish on any other woman. currently I’m in the process of trying to find a doctor to remove the essure coils without a hysterectomy. Unfortunately at the age of 26 Im not ready to throw my body into menopause. I thought for years I was crazy, and my body just hated me. I love that I have the essure problems group on facebook!! <3

Trying to tell such an ongoing story I always seem to leave a few things out. Waking up the next morning after telling my story I was reminded of a few other things as I began getting ready. Besides being always tired and sluggish, it takes forever to wake me due to my horrible insomnia! I’ve gained a lot of weight since having the springs placed, and despite my attempts it doesn’t come off. My poor hair as well. =/ it just falls out all the time. It’s super frustrating.
Thanks for sharing your story! I had them done in 2011 too and nothing but problems but the doctors won’t listen to me.
