I got this procedure done I believe about 3 years ago. I was told it was a new safe way for permanent birthcontrol. I work full time and a full time single mom. I couldn’t get my tubes tied because there is no way I could miss work or not be in shape to take care of my kid. My doctor recommended I get the Essure done. I was told I would be in and out and can go back to work. So I went and got it done.
I never really thought that the way I was feeling and the issues I was having could be related to this procedure.
When I saw this article I started reading all the stories and I could relate to all of them. The pain and discomfort. Heavier periods. I have some other issues that are kind of embarrassing to mention.
I’m kinda scared that I got this done now. I’m making an appointment with my Dr and see what options I have.
