Small Update: Essure

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.

Congrats! I was wondering how it went since I had the mirena inserted 5/10 also. I will post separately.
I can't wait to hear that everything is completely blocked and you don't have to worry anymore.

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!

Are you using condoms until you're sure it's completely blocked? Or are you on the pill or something? just curious for later if I decide to do it.

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.
