Meet Women who have had Essure

We can give you lots of information about Essure. But sometimes it’s most helpful to learn about the procedure directly from women who have already had it.

We’ve asked a number of women who have had the Essure procedure to share their personal experience. As you read these intimate first-person perspectives, we hope you come to a better understanding of how Essure can affect your life and whether it’s the right birth control decision for you.

Kathy

A homemaker and married mother of three, Kathy was drawn to the Essure procedure because it didn’t involve surgery. She’s happy to be off the Pill, and appreciates that she can now be intimate with her husband without worrying about unplanned pregnancy.
Estee

Estee is a mother of two who, together with her husband, decided that her family was complete. As a busy attorney, she appreciated that Essure let her recover quickly without having to slow down. She is also grateful that Essure doesn’t require surgery or leave scars.
Cheryl

Cheryl, a kindergarten teacher with a three-year-old daughter, was concerned about the long-term effects of the Pill. She was glad to learn that Essure did not require surgery and was relieved not to experience pain during or after the procedure.
ANGIE

Angie and her husband, who are the parents of two sons, had decided on a vasectomy. But when Angie’s doctor explained that Essure was less invasive than vasectomy with a shorter recovery time, they changed their minds. Angie is also glad to no longer be spending $30 a month on birth control pills.
RENDA

After years of unpleasant experiences with temporary birth control, Renda decided she was ready for a permanent solution. Married and without children, Renda is pleased with her choice of Essure and enjoys never having to think about birth control.
