I am 33 years old. In may 2012, I went to my Dr asking a tubal. He said because u have a 3 year old and 6 week old. Essure was better option because no down time. I was also told in office procedure and no side effects except mild cramping for a week or 2 after. I also told him I was allergic to nickle. He set me up in the hospital and did the procedure. When I woke up I remember crying in pain. Then went home after hours. Within 5 days I developed my first migraine ever in my life. I went to my primary Dr who sent me for ct scan, everything normal they said. Then came the heavy painful periods that would last 15 days. Went to obgyn who insisted essure was not to blame. I started getting back pains to where I can’t stand, walk, lay down. My poor kids. They lost their mom for years. I had no energy or patience. If I started playing, I tired easily. My family would ask if I was pregnant regularly due to swelling. I had nod desire to have sex and whnlen I did it hurt a lot.. After 3 painful years, I finally found an amazing Dr who agreed it was essure and gave me a hysterectomy. I am 33 years old and they had to take everything but ovaries. How is it fair that I had to lose my lady parts. Bayer doesn’t care. But I’m greatful I had my hysterectomy, because my children ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 finally have their mom back. Please don’t make my mistake. Do not get essure
