I also got Essure about 12 years ago -- I have never met anyone else who's even heard of it! So, for me, I found getting it to be mildly uncomfortable, but not really much more than a regular (but a lot longer) pelvic exam. But the follow-up special x-ray with the dye a month after, to check if it worked? I thought I was going to puke all over the x-ray table. Was this because it was actually that uncomfortable, was it because getting it was done in a cozy doctor's office with a nice older lady doctor, and the x-ray was in a sterile lab with a middle-aged white dude technician? Some combination of the two?
