Small Update: Essure
| Thu, 05-10-2007 - 8:29pm |
Had my Essure procedure done today.
Not much to tell since the sedative totally knocked me out & I don't remember a thing of the actual procedure.
My dr. showed dh the pictures of the coils in place & said it went really well.
I follow up with her on the 18th.


I can't wait to hear that everything is completely blocked and you don't have to worry anymore.

Hi blythe_one, welcome back!

Glad it went well.
You'll need to schedule your HSG soon. Good luck with that, I wish you all the best.

When I go in on the 18th for my follow up I'll ask my doctor if the HSG is done at a diagnostic imaging center or if it is at the hospital & then schedule it after that.
Thanks for the reminder!
Saw your post on Raising an Only and came right over, sorry I didn't see it sooner.
My gynecologist said that condoms aren't reliable enough. She recommended DepoProvera because it is highy effective & it will protect me until the HSG (dye test that shows if the tubes are blocked) in August; since it's just one dose I don't need to worry about the side effects of Depo. The shot hurt worse & had more residual pain than the Essure procedure; I've got a bruise as big as my thumb on my hip (the only other time I've bruised from a needle was when I had an epidural when our dd was born, the iv didn't cause any bruising & I've never bruised from giving blood or having blood drawn or anything). We're probably going to use condoms too, just in case, but right now we've been abstinent since 4/1 ..... and will be for at least another 12 days ..... so IDK for sure.
