To anyone who is considering this procedure:
Inform yourself and ask your doctor about all of the side effects. I was considering doing this procedure, myself, as my obgyn made it sound easy, pain free and relatively free if side effects. I am 35 years old and just had my 3rd baby 6 weeks ago. I’ve had complications with all three of my pregnancies s well as with my labors. With this said, my husband and I decided to stop at baby #3. So when I met with my obgyn for my postpartum appointment, I asked him again to explain the whole procedure and what it entailed. Assuming that Essure was reversible, I asked him if it could be reversed and he said, ‘No, this is permanent. If you have any doubts read some of the research that has been done and look up what Erin Brockovich has to say.’ I am so happy he gave me this advice. After reading a lot of the research and stories of side effects and complications I am most definitely not going to get this done to my body. Thank you, Erin Brockovich, and all of those brave women willing to speak out about this procedure and it’s negative consequences. Bless you all!
