I had the essure procedure done in early October 2013. I was told that this was going to be a quick and almost painless procedure. That couldnt be further from the truth, it took about an hour and was almost excrutiating…comparable to childbirth! After the procedure i had moderate cramping and some bleeding which subsided within a weeks time. Gradually i started noticing that i wasnt feeling ‘normal’ and that my periods were off. Here is a list of all my symptoms,i never had before
- Pain everywhere(especially in abdominal area)
- forgetfulness ‘brain fog’
- bloating/weight gain
- headaches ( migrain material)
- fatigue/lethargic
- depression
- night sweats
- mood swings
- unexplained fever/chills
- metallic taste in mouth
- irregular periods(mild to severe/days on end or non exsitant)
- libido (no sex drive)
- nausea
- constipation
- anxiety
- numbness of limbs Ect. After numerous dr visits with numerous different docters labs ect that could not help me or figure out why i was so ‘sick’ i finally started putting things together about what i had done differently. The only explaination for this seemed to be essure. I went on the web searching and found countless sites with information and women who were suffering from the same or similar symptoms from essure! Sadly enough I was so happy about that because i was actually begining to think i was going crazy i wasnt alone! I finally got my ob/gyn (my implanting dr) to listen yet stating he ‘was not convinced it was the essure’ and that the only way to remove it would be via hysterectomy-laproscopy. I elected to have the surgery which was on march 4th 2014 and can already tell a difference with about 75% of the symptoms gone! I can not wait until my post op check up to let my dr know! With all of that being said,The essure is not safe and or effective! Ladies please if you are considering this do ALL of your research first! This awful birth control has takin a toll on myself, my family, my job, and just every day activities! To all of the ladies who have essure and are still suffering listen to your body only you know it, and dont give up! I am very happy to be essure free! #nomoresuffering!
