I had my Essure procedure done in late 2010 after i had my third child. I was lead to believe it was the best way to go and the best birth control out there. I originally had planned to get my tubes tied but my doctor informed me that with Essure it’s a quick recovery and i can take care of my 3 kids while my husband wasn’t home with out being in pain. So, with out doing my research, i took it. Now going on 4 years later i regret it with every fiber of my being! I wasn’t having any problems at all until about 3 weeks ago. It started with extreme fatigue and went from there, i’m having so many pregnancy symptoms like feeling weird sensations in my pelvic area that are best described as flutters or stretching uterus perhaps? I am going to take a pregnancy test in a couple days and see what the results are. I’m nervous that i might be pregnant but even more nervous that it could be my coils finally starting to bother me. I have had the worst back pain i’ve ever felt in my life! Essure is NOT worth it, if i could take back the day i got my procedure done i would have ran out of that dr’s office!
