Just wanted to say thank you Erin and all of the women sharing their stories! I recently made the decision that I didn’t want any more birth control and chose to get sterilized, I just wasn’t sure which way I wanted to have it done. Of course the non-surgical (Essure) was looking very appealing to me and I was strongly leaning in that direction until I saw this! I still have to call to confirm my decision and I think I will go with the old fashion burn! It is possible that you all just saved me from a lot of complications that were not discussed with me at my consult, I do have to say that my DR. did go over all the options and didn’t seem too impressed with Essure from my perspective, so that kinda made me leary. But thanks again, and I wish you all well!!
