Hello. My name is Martha. I am 28 years old. I have 3 children ages 8, 6, and 5. When my youngest was conceived and we found out we were finally having a boy, we decided to look into birth control (permanent). We talked to the OB about our options. He suggested ESSURE right away. He said it was ‘safer than my husband having a vasectomy’.
Well, five years later and that couldn’t be further from the truth. The constant pain, nausea, migraines, back aches are ruining my life! Not to mention cramping between periods, moodiness(severe), depression because of being sick all the time. I can feel the coils at all times. I can not be intimate worth my husband with out cramping to the point that we have to stop. Do you know how that can affect a marriage? We are trying to save the money to have them taken out,because apparently it’s a ‘want’ not a ‘need’! This company needs to compensate for the surgeries (at the very least). I just want to be ME again!
