New Essure Birth Control vs.Tubal?

I had the Essure done in June-loved it, I recommmend it to anyone and everyone! I took off work the next day just in case-didn't need to. I went shopping, I cleaned the house I was able to take care of my children. I wonder why more women don't do it, than having surgery. If you have any questions let me know I will be glad to help. ____@____.com

If you are married and monogamous then a vasectomy is definitely the way to go.

I read all about Essure when I was pregnant for my third son. It just seems too new to me. I opted for an IUD to give me a few years to consider if I was sure I was done having children and to decide what form of birth control I wanted. I have decided to have a tubal ligation myself. Essure sounds great, but I don't think there's been enough time to see the long term possibilities with it. Also, another thing I've been considering; I have some hip pain associated with my IUD. It is pretty painful at times. I worry that the Essure spring could also result in odd unsuspected pains as well. Good luck!!

I had my tubal done almost 5 years ago and for me it was the best thing. At that time I was a single mom with two girls and had starting dating again. I could not take the chance of having another child to raise on my own. I have had the best freedom of my life, I do not have worry anymore.

It took me 3 days to recover but 4 yrs of freedom. Then you have less side effects to worry about, maybe a little weight gain but I never had that either.

I had the Essure done last November and have been very happy. I had it done on a Friday morning and felt back to normal by Saturday afternoon. If I had to have had a C-Section they would have done the tubal.

I don't know what essure is, but I had a tubal and couldn't be happier. It is the easist out patient surgery I have ever had. I was able to walk right away with no pain and never even had to take pain medicine.

Just wanted to say that I had a tubaligation when I was 39 years old and I did very well. Recovery for me was simple. For me, it was a simple surgery. Although I know it is not without risk, it was
worth it for me.

I had considered the Essure procedure with my last (she was born May 28th) but I was already scheduled for a c-section and the Essure needs to be done at least 6 wks after birth (I think) so I would have to have another procedure, so my husband and I decided on a tubal which I have had no problems with. Essure.com also has FAQ's, testimonials, birth control comparisons and explanations of the procedure if you want to learn more.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
