NO: Essure is a method of permanent birth control that introduces coils into your tubes that over the next few months cause the tubes to scar down and block so pregnancy cannot occur. There are no hormones. You will need a test after a few months to show the tubes are blocked. For the test xray dye is introduced into the uterus to confirm tube blockage. Until then some other birth control is needed.

No: Essure, permanent "plugs" in your tube doesn't effect anything other than preventing sperm from reaching your eggs. So it doesn't cause blood clots in veins, strokes, mood changes, etc. That may occur with birth control pills. It's the most effective method of permanent birth control and can be performed in a gynecologist's office in about 10 minutes.
