Hi,
i've done a lot of research on it, and
basically it seems like a good alternative
to tubal ligation, which is invasive.
Here's some of the stuff I learned:
the procedure only takes about 20 minutes,
or so, and you can go home the same day.
It can be done in the doctor's office, or
in the hospital. Some insurance will pay
part of the procedure. Most women don't
experience a lot of pain afterwards, and
most return to work the next day.
The recommend using an alternative birth
control method for at least three months
after the procedure is done, just to make
sure it worked. There are some cases
where the "barrier" didn't block the egg
and pregnancy occured, but not many
cases.
I'm thinking of getting it done because
the birth control pill i'm on now, the
"micronor mini pill" is making my breasts
huge, and making me gain so much weight.
I took the combination pill for over 20
years and suddently got high blooc
pressure, so I can't take it any more. I
really hate the progestin-only pill due to
the side effects.
If I get the essure procedure done, i'll
post my experience here.

I Had the Essure Procedure Done... Posted: 11-30-05 12:06pm
Appx. 2 1/2 years ago and up until the
last 5 months I haven't had any problems.
No pregnancy, not even a scare of
pregnancy, my monthly cycle was a lot
better, less cramping, shorter in length.
The only thing was that I would get a
horrible migraine the day before I started
my monthly cycle.
Now for the last 5 months I have had 2
cycles each month, with very heavy
bleeding. I can not find a reason for
the change. I am actually going into the
Dr. Today to see if I can get this
figured out. I have been trying to
research information to see if it could be
something to do with the essure procedure
but can not find anything that talks about
it after 2 to 3 years of having the
procedure done.
If the change in my cycles has nothing to
with the essure procedure I would highly
recommend it to anyone!
