At 35 with an 18 year old daughter and 12 year old son. My husband and I decided that we were done having children. We were looking into options and came across Essure. After reading about the procedure it sounded non evasive and with little to no side effects. I had the Essure procedure done on June 19, 2014. Shortly after the procedure I was feeling nauseated most of the time, dizzy, headaches, extremely irregular periods bleeding with clotting then no period for a few months only to have sporting and clots again. I was told these side effects were from the Depo shot I had to take while the coils were cementing. My last shot of Depo was August 25, 2014 and I still have all the symptoms along with 20 extra pounds. I wish I had seen this sight before I had the Essure procedure. My quality of life has drastically changed. As I am told there is NO reversing the Essure, I’m not sure what to do from here.
