I had the Essure done in 2007 as a form of permanet birth control. At the time it sounded like the best way to go, it was less evasive and less recovery time than a tubal ligation. At least that is what my doctor was pushing at the time. Since then I have had severe pelvic pain, inflammation, pain during intercourse, chronic fatigue, lower back pain, severe migraines, weight gain, depression, sharp shooting pains in my uterus and bloating. Just until recently I hadn’t even realized that these symptoms were connected to the essure coils. Not until I started seeing stories on the news about other women having the same and worse issues than me. I then started looking for a doctor that would remove the coils which they are harder to find then one might think. Luckily I did find an awesome doctor that agrred to take them out!! I will be E Free in less than a week!!
