I decided to get the Essure implants after I had my fourth child. I didn’t want to go through any surgery and when I asked my doctor about getting a tubal done he advised that this would be a better option for me. I had the procedure done in January 2011, six months after I had my last baby and my life changed since then. I’m usually a very health person. I don’t visit the doctor often because I rarely have any issues but once I got the implants I started to notice changes in my body such as mood swings, depression, acne, light headiness, sharp pain in my lower back, stabbing pains around my ovaries, lack of sleep, fatigue, etc.
I consulted my doctor about it but all my blood work came back normal. The whole ordeal has caused me to have issues with my husband and my children. I was even close to ending my marriage because of the side effects that this procedure is causing me. I’m a completely different person.
