I got the Essure procedure done August 31, 2011 after the birth of my third child. I asked my gyn if there were any side effects to this procedure and he said that there weren’t any. He never told me that the coils were made with nickel and he flat out lied to me about this procedure.
The first 7 months after getting the coils put in, I did not have one single period, had horrific cramping and pains in my lower right abdomen and back, headaches, nausea, and dizzy spells. Every time I went to the doctor, he told me it was all in my head.
On March 28, 2012 I started bleeding very heavily with blood clots. ( All while I was in my bathtub). I went to the ER and they told me it was a cyst that had burst. I went to see my gyn and he told me it was a really messed up period.
I have asked to get the coils removed because I am sick of being in constant pain and the doctors around here just keep telling me that they are not certified to remove the Essure coils. Something serious needs to happen. I do not have any health insurance but I really need these coils out now!
Any woman that thinks she might want to get this procedure done, please think about your options. I HIGHLY do NOT recommend this for anyone!
