I got this procedure done in 2010 a couple months after having my last baby. I too have been experiencing a lot of these symptoms especially the cramping all the time. I thought it was just my body changing or something but had no idea that other women out there are going through the same thing.
I was never told about the side effects neither but my doctor did tell me my period would get lighter and lighter and eventually stop. It has been 3 yrs and getting my period has been nothing but heavy, clotting, and painful. I totally regret getting the Essure procedure done, now that I know it is the cause of all this pain I’ve been feeling.
