Peace of mind you deserve – With the Essure Confirmation Test, you can achieve the confidence you want in birth control. Unlike other permanent birth control procedures, the Essure inserts can be seen by x-ray, allowing a doctor to see that the inserts have been correctly placed and fluid cannot flow past them. This confirms that your tubes are completely blocked and you can rely on Essure as your sole form of birth control.
The simple test is given three months after your procedure and usually takes about 30 minutes. Your doctor will discuss the results of your Essure Confirmation Test with you as soon as they are available - usually on the day of your test. Until you receive confirmation directly from your doctor, you must continue using another form of contraception. After that, you can start enjoying the moment—and stop worrying about unplanned pregnancy.
