Hello my name is Yomaira, I am a 38yr old mother of 6. I decided to have the essure procedure done 6 weeks after giving birth to my 6th child, a baby girl in February of 2009. I lived in Chico, California at the time and my OBGYN at that time told me about essure sterilization and how it would be the best form of birth control for me. He never told me about any of the side effects I would face after these coils were implanted in my body. I moved back home to Baltimore in August of 2010. I noticed that my periods were heavier than ever and so painful. The pain is always in my back and pelvic area, similar to beginning labor contractions. I also started developing a rash on my arms that was believed to be eczema yet no medication prescribed has worked to help clear it. I also developed bad migraines and joint and muscle pain. I never thought it could be the essure at first until I realized that all my symptoms started after having the coils implanted. I would like to have the essure reversed but it cost money to do so. I regret this decision to have them implanted into my body without knowledge of the side effects. Thank you for letting me share my story….. Yomaira
