Adiana (Permanent Birth Control)

I'm just learning about this new form of birth control and was wondering if anyone has ever tried this. I know it's permanent, but it's either me getting something like this or my husband getting a vasectomy...

My OB had mentioned this as an alternative to a vasectomy for my husband and I was informed that both the Adiana and a vasectomy are covered by my insurance. I'm just curious to get a view from someone that has had this done. I've read the statistics and FAQ's, etc... Just looking for personal experience.

Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thresea... You know I love your opinion AND your rants!

My husband is far more comfortable with him getting a vasectomy then me getting this done. : )

A vasectomy is still easier with faster results on your husband's end! I participated in a focus group about essure and adiana. It's a cool concept, but it takes awhile to be effective (if I remember -4-6 months). My husband had a vasectomy this summer, but even if he hadn't, I don't know how I feel about having a foreign object put into my fallopian tubes so scar tissue can form around it. It just sounds like there could be problems down the road!

I would have my husband get a vasectomy. After all these years of me being the one in charge of the bc, when we're done, it's his turn.

All right, all right, I was hoping other people would actually have REAL answers so I could rant about Top Ten Reasons Why I Regret Having My Tubes Tied When I Was Only 30......but since they HAVEN'T, I'll keep it to myself!

But when you see a black station wagon fly by you stuffed full of teenagers and Golden Retrievers and the sub-woofers thumpin' with a bumper sticker that says "SAVE THE TUBES", you'll know it's me!
