I had the essure procedure back in 2008. After having 5 children I wanted a permanent birth control without going under the knife. My maternity nurse told me about essure, so I asked my doctor about the procedure and she said that it would be an easy procedure. After the procedure I was ok, but for about three weeks I had severe lower back pain. When I went back to the doctor she said it was normal but she did an ultrasound to check. It came back normal. When it is time for my periods I know when it is time because I get this lower back pain and a heavy, clotted start to my periods. A few years ago I changed my gyne doctor and I told him about my issues, so he did an ultrasound and said it is normal, that it is not the essure. I did not realize how many women have had problems with essure. I just wish I wouldn’t of had it done.
