I’m 36 and after 3 kids and 2 failed pregnancies I decided that I was done having babies. I’ve tried birth control pills, the IUD (copper) and so far all have failed me. Causing various issues from allergies to infections.
I spoke to my Dr about the options I was left with and was amazed at how easily this option was pushed. Basically told that this is that miracle I was looking for with out needing actual surgery. No surgery, no side effects (so they say) and no worries.
However given my prior history with all things pregnancy preventative related, I decided to read up on this Essure miracle solution. While I am glad I didn’t listen to the Dr’s and just jump head first… I feel for the ladies who have gone through this because I’m sure it was sold to them as the answer to all issues And worries.
It sickens me that perfectly healthy women are having these complications and not a thing is being done by the medical industry to pull it from shelves or at least be open about the very serious side effects.
thank you for sharing ur stories and for opening my eyes to the very real dangers of this procedure. Wish you all the best.
