Xray: Did you have the 3 month post Essure confirmation test done after the procedure? This is very important to confirm that Essure successfully sealed the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. Not everyone achieves a complete cessation of periods forever after an endometrial ablation. 5 years of no periods 2008-2013 is pretty good.
