I had the Essure implanted Oct 2013 and since then I have severe pelvic pain, a constant period (everyday), metallic taste everyday, excruciating knee pain. After being able to walk/jog 6 miles a day I can not even finish 2 miles. Everytime I sit longer than 30 mins or lay down I get up like I am full arthritis and 60+ years old and I am only 33. Intercourse brings a period on the days that I think my cycle has stopped. This is the worse mistake I ever made in my life and since I only have one tube to begin with I can not imagine what women are going through that have two of these devices implanted. Now I know there are women that have these devices that havent had any issues but honestly I just think this is the worst invention and I wish I had done more research. My husband feels sorry for me I am not sure if there is a positive light on at the end of the tunnel.
