I had the Essure procedure done May 5, 2011 and I am having complications with my period.?

At first they were not there..and yes I did have the 3 month confirmation test...then when they finally started showing up they were very light and didnt last long. Well now for the last 4 or 5 months they have been horrible. I have them 2 times a month...the first one is usually pretty light and goes away after about a week and then when the 2nd one shows up its heavy...painful and lasts forever..as an example i am now on my 13th day. I have called my gyno..she gave me some progestrin and then when i was done taking those the period returned. Now she wont do anything for me. She wants me to keep a journal of how my periods are and she said that my periods must just be like this. I am miserable and need help...any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I would contact Essure and discuss with them your current issues. The chances of your problem being the only person who has suffered is not likely. In addition, if you get no help, go to a different gyn.

    It sounds like a great procedure to me, but I wonder about it since neither large women's clinic in my area will do the procedure.
