Yes, I thought about having it done. Once I talked to my Dr about we decided an IUD was a better choice for me. I'm very pleased that I got it. I have 5 kids and do not plan to have any more but the IUD gives you lighter periods and I no longer have PMS.
Good luck finding someone that has had it done. I couldn't!

The Essure procedure is a sterilization procedure for women that is performed by an Essure trained doctor. Unlike tubal ligation and vasectomy, there are no incisions. Instead, micro-inserts are passed through the body's natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and placed into your fallopian tubes.
During the first 3 months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a tissue barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this period, you will need to use another form of birth control.
After 3 months, your doctor will perform a special type of x-ray test called an HSG to confirm that your tubes are completely blocked and you can rely on the Essure micro-inserts for birth control.

Yes, I had it done Oct 3 so far so good. I had some spotting the first day and cramping, like a bad period. I have my HSG test next month and then I should be home free from birth control pills..I can not wait. I have only good things to say about this procedure, go for it.
