Over the next three months, your body works with the Essure inserts to form a natural barrier within each of your fallopian tubes. These barriers prevent sperm from reaching the eggs so that pregnancy cannot occur. During this three-month timeframe, you must continue to use another form of birth control.
After three months, it’s time for your Essure Confirmation Test. During this simple test, a special dye is introduced into your uterus and viewed on an x-ray, so your doctor can confirm that your fallopian tubes are completely blocked and the inserts are in place. Once you receive this verification, you can rely on Essure for permanent birth control.
Like all permanent birth control procedures, including tubal ligation and vasectomy, the Essure procedure should not be considered reversible, so you should be sure you do not want to get pregnant in the future.
Essure is covered by most insurance providers, and if the Essure procedure is performed in a doctor's office, payment may be as low as your co-pay, depending on your insurance plan.

Plus with essure you have to return for several visits besides the post op appt. You have to be tests to "ensure" that the spring they inserted caused the tubes to block up. I was like... Shit just snip and get it over.
I registered at 630am, in surgery by 8am, got out, stayed in recovery and was on my way home by 1030am. They put me to sleep so I was really groggy after and I slept the rest of the day.
I was BFing on demand so my LO had to formula feed for the day until about 6pm and I was allowed to continue BFing then
Since they put me to sleep they didn't want me to transfer the anestetic meds to my baby and wait until they get out of my system
After my first nursing she threw up and then slept the rest of the night so I probably should have waited 24 hours instead of what they told me.
Well after surgery and for about 24 hours I was tired and sore.
I had 2 staples in my belly button and one above my hair line. The doctor removed them like a week or 2 later which was painless.
The only thing I notice is I was really emotional after. It was like my hormones were trying to get back in tack. My honey was great in recognizing why I was spazzing out but I will tell you I was an emotional reck.. it could have just been from motherhood as well because me baby was 6 months.
Now.. I'm fine! The only thing is my periods are irregular and that could also be because I'm still nursing.
I hope this helps

My sister had essure and went through a scare. There are risks of it not embedding itself and traveling, causing puncture or pregnancy. It's a fairly new procedure and is still being ”learned” about. I would definitely talk to your physician about the risks.
Maybe like subconsciously your sex drive goes up because you know you can't get pregnant.
