I had the procedure done a year ago. (10/27/07) I had a baby (3rd) and felt I was finished having kids. My doctor talked this procedure up and it sounded great. My job was already pressuring me about coming back to work (26 weeks maternity leave due to pregnancy problems) and the time off was PERFECT!!! I only had the left tube to get done due to a prior tubal pregnancy. Everything to do with the procedure was just as they said. Very little pain and I actually went back to work the day after the procedure. I actually thought all was fine BUT in the last week or so I have been having pain the left side of my abdomen (the side the coil is on). I didn't think anything about it; chalked it up to PMS until I was sexually aroused and I about came up off the bed from the pain. Now it is a constant pain. I really hadn't heard anything bad about essure until this happened to me and I really started looking. I am horrified!! The doctor and none of the pamphlets said anything about complications like this or the ones I have read about here. Now I am seriously second guessing my decision to have this done. Please don't get this done and if you know anyone talking about it tell them NO and have them come and read all this stuff. I wish I had.
