ESSURE OR TRDITIONAL TUBAL LIGATION?

by rukiyar, Jul 08, 2008 09:24AM
Okay ladies I need advice and some assurance both proedures scare me but I know mentally I cant handle the tremendous worry of another pregnancy. who had what done or which do you think is better? The only problem with the essure is the depo shot they give you after I never in my life used birth control and am concerned about side effects

I had the essure procedure done. I read up on both and essure is far easier. Mainly, it's not surgery. When I got it done I was in and out in 15 mins. Getting the procedure done is uncomfortable, but nothing like recovering from surgery.

I didn't get a depo shot afterwards. You're supposed to use protection for about three months afterwards while the procedure is taking effect, but you can just use condoms. I went for the HSG follow up appointment after three months and everything is fine.

For what it's worth, it worked for me.
