Essure vs Tubal

Considering all of my options... while I can ask about different pills, and IUD's and all other forms of birth control all day long what I REALLY want is sterilization.

So if I could get some opinions about that too, it would really be helpful.

I know that a tubal is covered on my insurance, and I am waiting for a reply to find out if Essure is also covered.

I like the idea of no incisions or general anesthesia being required with Essure. I have never had surgery before and would like to avoid it if possible.

But I know that I do not want children. I never have. And I would love to not have to worry about any type of birth control again. My boyfriend is against having a vasectomy (Men!) and I am tired of taking pills.

Sorry about not posting sooner but explorer was messing up.

I found out on Dec.27 that I could go off the pills. I called the dr. office first thing that morning. However, the thursday b4 that the techs said that none of the dye was going any further than the uterus. I could see the microinserts on the screen. I'm highly recommended this procedure to anyone that is thinking of having a permanent solution to bc.
