I decided to get the Essure after talking with my doctor about permanent sterilization. He made it sound like an amazing option. I should’ve known it sounded too good to be true and I should’ve done more research.
I went in for the procedure on October 30, 2012. It was to be in and out, a little to no pain procedure and I should have recovered by morning. It was in and out, it was the most painful thing I had been through, aside from giving birth to my son.
I’m still having cramping mostly on the right side and still spotting, not to mention the headaches and leg pain that could possibly be associated. Every time I call the doctor he always puts off seeing me, saying wait till after you first period, its residual pain, your tubes are just being irritated and if you still have problems after the x rays we’ll exam it. Please anyone looking to get this done do your research!!!
