I had the essure done on September 15th 2014. On October 15th I had a TIA which is a mini stroke. Age 33 and with a healthy lifestyle no one new what was going on. It turns out my right carotid artery was totally blocked. Blood clot caused by Essure? I have no idea.
Since then I have tingling, numbness, skin flush and bloating. All of the specialists that I have seen said this is not related to a TIA. Had never had these symptoms prior to Essure so could that be the cause? I have no idea.
My last period was 15 days late. Heavy bleeding with lots of blood clots.
Had my HSG done on January 22nd and guess what- one of the coils had migrated. I’m still waiting to hear back about where it is and what to do from here.
The doctor that implanted them told me the Essure could not cause these problems. When I called back to tell him about the migration his idea was to inject another coil. No mention of removing misplaced coil. I told him I wanted it removed and he was going to get back to me. Haven’t heard from him in over a week.
Currently in touch with A Personal Touch in Chapel HIll NC. Will have to pay $5900 out of pocket.
Please contact me if there is a lawsuit.
