I had the coils put in about 2011, I had a regular period for a few months then it just stopped coming. I am 47 & thought it might be early menopause, I have had some hot flashes as well. I have had some abdominal pain and side aches but nothing that has been too terrible to deal with. I do know a lady who had another baby while she had the Essure coils implanted. I hope everything works out ok for me and others who have this type of Birth Control, I am too old too face an unplanned pregnancy nor do I want health problems resulting from this.
