I thought I was finished having kids. I didn’t know that it would mean 9 months of constant, heavy bleeding and the feeling I was losing my mind! After Essure I never stopped bleeding, despite adding pharmaceutical birth control (which I tried to avoid with Essure in the first place) of several kinds. I have had strange hair loss and now have unexplained hip pain that is fairly severe. In the meantime I have had a treatment to burn my uterus to end the constant bleeding. My only regret in life is Essure and I feel lied to by my doctor.
