I had the Essure procedure done a few years ago. My doctor KNEW I had a metal allergy, yet didn’t even explain that to me when I went in for the procedure. Needless to say, here it is 2013 and I had to have a hysterectomy before age 30. Unbelievable. I cannot explain to you how hard it is to feel as if I am mutalated when trying to be intimate. I have no cervix, no uterus and I now pee when I jump, which is a weird side effect. I hate that it came to a hysterectomy. After the procedure, my doctor handed me a pamphlet, in which it stated do not get if you have a nickel allergy. I wish I had seen that beforehand.
