Essure is the most reliable method of permanent sterilization out there. The answers so far though stress the importance of getting an Xray after the procedure to confirm that the tubes are blocked. This is done 3 months after the procedure. Until then a back up method of birth control will be prescribed by your doctor.

You cannot become pregnant, unless you had a procedure such as IVF.
While you may find coverage available for this birth control method, I strongly urge you with caution before using it. There is currently a huge lawsuit against Bayer for the complications this procedure has caused.
