In January 2008 I decided to have the Essure procedure done. My youngest was in first grade, my oldest in third. I could finally go back to work. I decided to have it done in January because we had a $3000 deductible. My surgery lasted way longer than anticipated due to one of the clamps did not want to fit correctly. (I have two on my left side). I went on April 10 to have the xray to make sure everything was ok. I was told it worked. I have noticed some pain on my left side since then. But the kicker was, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2008 – the same year – I found out that I was two months + pregnant. After I gave birth, I had to wait to have my tubes semi removed. I love my son (now 4) more than anything but it was a huge shock! I cried and cried my enitre prenancy! I thought that I was beyond diapers, and now preschool! I am just glad that I do not have the serious injuries I am reading about. I just watched our local news about the Essure problems and had to tell my story! Thanks
