I had essure put in August of 2012. I finally got a period in February of 2014. It was very painful with all the headaches, backaches, and my left side hurting. Went to the doctor and my uterus tipped slightly. He gave me some meds to take . Next period was early april and lasted about 5 days and was light to regular. This week late april I have pregnancy symptoms so I take a pregnancy test and I am pregnant and coils are still in place. Now at my ob/gyn office I am treated as a special case and they want to know everything. The nurse said this has never happened to them before.
