My story is somewhat different. However, it still involves the Essure and the inappropriate use of it. I was 25 then and pregnant with my second child when it was offered to me at the hospital. Not having all the info, on top of a terrible pregnancy, I agreed to have it. My appointment was scheduled one month after my baby was born.
I now regret the Essure immensely. It was not a misunderstanding of procedure, but I now regret it. Looking back there are so many ethical and possible legal issues I hadn’t considered. My partner and I are trying everything to have another baby, but several specialists have told me that it is irreversible. I want it off the market so no one else has to go through this.
