My name is, Melissa. I am a mother of 3 children. I had baby 3 at age 29. I had a rough pregnancy, my husband was serving his country, deployed in Iraq. I had the baby mid-June 2009. I decided to get essure instead of him having a sterilization, I figured it would be easier for me to get sterilized. He was coming home on R&R for Christmas 2009. I was alone, so I didn’t want to do cut, tie, and burn. I was going to go back on the IUD Mirena but didn’t want an oops! I had female complications to begin with since I stated menstruating. My doctor never once told me about the hell I would endure would be worse than the hell I already lived with. Because of Essure I had to live with a heating pad, I constantly had a period it wouldn’t stop. I was taking 1600mg of ibuprofen every 2 hours for the excruciating pain. I became depressed and my hormones were so messed up I was anemic I had to then go onto an anti-depressant. I kept going to the gyne specialist to get help, nothing helped. Finally to get some relief from the constant pain I had to have a partial hysterectomy. I went from a liveable nightmare that came during the beginning of menstrual and after Essure it was never relieved. This needs to be stopped.
