I got the Essure surgery in December 2011. I was told I would never feel it again. The depo shot that I had received to thin the lining of my uterus didn’t help my healing process. I spent months constantly bleeding. My bleeding prevented the scheduling of my follow up to see if the procedure worked. I have to avoid sitting in certain positions to avoid the excruciating pain. I can still feel the spots where the springs were placed. I hurt there sometimes. Some days it feels as though my cervix and belly button are being clamped together and pulled down and out. I have to stretch in certain ways and do pregnancy breathing to get the muscles to relax. I take pain meds as needed. This is march of 2015. I do not recommend anyone go through this. Do not get Essure.
