I am a mother of 5 children (6 including my stillbirth) and 2 step-children so after my last baby summer of 2011 I decided to have my tubes tied because I was high risk after my still-birth.
The doctors told me about Essure and was convincing and that the only side effects was cramping and a little bleeding after the procedure which I had done the fall of 2011. Which was true. But now my periods are abnormal, either early or late so now I never know when I am going to have my next. I have experienced yeast infection symptoms and bad cramps/pains in my lower abdomen.
I get leg cramps and back pain. I am nausea and have headaches most of the time. I do get dizzy too. Then one day I had this unexplainable huge bald spot on top of my head which pretty much happened over night and am still loosing lots of hair.
I can not wear my hair down anymore because of it.
I am mad because when I asked about other side effects I was told there was none and I really should have done a research before I got it done.
I am now telling everyone NOT to get the Essure and to google the side effects.
