I had the Essure procedure done in 2005, since then my menstrual cycle has become irregular. Sometimes it’s extremely heavy, other times I will go 2 months without one. Also, since my procedure I get horrible cramps in my ovary area, as well as headaches every day. The headaches sometimes put me in bed and leave me unable to do anything with my kids. Thank goodness I have a wonderful husband!
I have no insurance, so I’m in a position where I can’t do anything. It is unfair to us, we were told it was a safe and easy procedure, I feel we were lied to, and now our bodies and families are paying the toll.
