My fiancé and I chose to have the procedure done after having our second baby. Our youngest daughter was born with cystic fibrosis and we were not planning on having any more children out of fear that that child too would have CF. Our second daughter was a surprise, and luckily she did not inherit the disease. I had the Essure procedure done in April of 2012. I started getting terrible headaches around August of 2012. I continue to have them on almost a daily basis. My periods are now 7 days long versus the 5 day period I was once used to. Also, my periods are much more painful; heavier with worse cramps. there are times when ill get a terrible pain in the same area as my coils; they are debilitating. It usually subsides after about 30-50 seconds each time. Finally, my fiancé and I were having intercourse one night and he winced in pain, stating that he felt like he had been stung. He looked at his penis and was had been cut. I am making an appointment to see my OB. I’m worried that a piece (or all) all of a coil has fallen off and moved down into my cervix or is somehow piercing through. Update to come.
