Thread: Missed period, Essure implant fail? So scaried and feeling alone.

were u 2 months late after u had the procedure done or later down the rd its been almost 2months since i has my essure done &havnt had a period yet .im not pregant but concerned 2 why & when should i worry when it doesnt come

I had the Essure procedure in late Aug 09 and had spotting for 1 week after and spotting 3 days after my HSG in Dec 09 but otherwise I haven't had a real period since the original procedure and they made me do a pregnancy test before the HSG and that was negative.

My advice is to wait and try not to worry. If the home pregnancys test were negative then I don't think you have anything to worry about. I am a lab tech and have done many preg tests. The kits that you can buy over the counter are really just as good as the kits we used in the lab. There can be some human error in using the store bought tests but if you followed the instructions properly it should be accurate. The reason the blood test is more accurate is that it gives you a quanitative result which measures the hormones. It is also much better at detecting etopic and possible spontaneous abortion. Just relax and try to get it off your mind. Hope that helps and hope that your tests are negative.
