My name is Kristyna, I was 23 when I had the essure procedure done. I have three wonderful children and after talking to my doctor he suggested I have the essure procedure done. Since I had just had my first little boy 3 months prior I was excited about no surgery! Placement of the coils was done in his office it took about 2 hours with recovery time. There isn’t a day that goes by that I wish I hadn’t chose the procedure! I have constant abdominal and back pain. My periods are heavier, longer and come every three weeks. I have ZERO sex drive which is causing serious problems in my marriage! I’m 25 going on 75. I should want to be the fun loving mom and wife, but I constantly feel tired and weak. =( Every part of body aches and I just want to feel my age again. I wanted birth control not an age increase!
