I’d better update too ! Sorry, I forgot about this thread !
I had my initial consult with the gyn on May 5th. The most amusing doctor’s visit I’ve ever had 
Anyway, he agreed to do it, and his next available date was May 15th, so I’ll be “essured” next Thursday 
I wanted to resurrect this thread with an update, since I just had my HSG (hysterosalpingogram) done yesterday afternoon to make sure the micro inserts were in place. I’ve had some pretty consistent bleeding for the last 4+ months (I mean, a week not bleeding and two weeks bleeding all the damn time), so my suspicion was that one of the inserts had fallen out into my uterus.
Well, it appears I was right. Even I could see the dye going through the fallopian tube. I’m going to call my doctor today, since the radiologist should’ve had time to get the x-rays over to him and discuss the results with him. I’m not sure if they need to remove the insert surgically or if it’s not going to be a problem, but I may just skip a second Essure procedure and go straight to a tubal on that one fallopian tube just to get it over with.
Thanks for the update DA. I hope everthing goes well with you.
As for me, it turns out my insurance denied my pre-approval because of the newness of the procedure. So, I have an appointment on November 14 for the tubal ligation.
Oh, Deadly Accurate, I’m so sorry.
My initial X-ray also came back inconclusive, so I will be having my HSG in a few weeks to confirm whether the procedure was a success or not for me.
I’m really sorry it didn’t work for you 
What a pain.
I have been told next to nothing about the HSG. Anything I should be aware of ? Will I resemble an octopus if anyone scares me ?
Here is a good site that explains the basic procedure. I might muck up the explanation. There was maybe one minute of pain that resembled a really bad cramp while the dye was being injected, but that was it (my cramps after the Essure procedure were bad enough for Demerol and these weren’t nearly that bad). I was able to watch the dye on the video monitor. All-in-all, it wasn’t a bad experience for me.
I was still kinda crampy all yesterday and some today, but mild enough that OTC painkillers are more than sufficient.
