my name is Mindy. I’m 28 years old and I have 4 children. during my last pregnancy my doctor recommended i get essure. I was looking for a perament form of birth control. With little side effects and no down time. So essure seemed perfect. I had it done 6 weeks after the birth of my daughter in 2013. Prior to essure I never had a problem with my periods cramps pains heavy bleeding or anything. I had 3-4 day periods and was still able to be active. After the essure it’s all I can do to function a week before and the week of my period which now last for at least 10 days. I have major headaches. Backaches. Pain where the corks are. i bleed extremely heavy For a long time. I have to lay in bed. I can’t even hold my daughter. And the more time that passes the worse it gets. It’s even sore to touch. I regret the essure.
