It's absolutely false that no one will give you essure without having kids first. i'm 30 and childfree, and i got my essure quite easily. if that's an avenue you want to go down, try calling your nearest vasectomy clinic. ask if they perform female sterilization. when they say no, act surprised and ask for the number of a doctor that does. Getting sterilized without having kids first (for women, anyway) largely depends on the attitude of the doctor you're dealing with, and a vasectomy clinic can generally point you to a CF-friendly doctor.
There are a couple of CF/sterilization comms on LJ that may be able to give you some advice as well: http://cf-hardcore.livejournal.com/profile, http://cf-resources.livejournal.com/profile, and http://sterilizationqa.livejournal.com/profile.
