Embolisms symptoms and conditions

Hi, i have been on NR for only 5 days, these 5 days have been VERY hard for me, my emotions are screwed all up, i feel sad and depressed when i have absolutely no reason to be. I have never felt this way before, not even during pregnancy. I have been getting headaches, i feel bloated and hungry all the time. I have even experienced flu like symptoms...shortness of breath along with body aches, unable to concentrate. I have been feeling VERY tired. I am a very active person, always on the go doing something... ever since i began NR i do not have the energy to do anything at all. I can not wait to go home and take this thing out of me!!!

My 20 year-old daughter was hospitalized for 6 days for Pulminary Embolisms as a result of being put on NUVARING 7 weeks after having a C-section. Her OB/GYN knew she was a smoker and prone to depression, but prescribed it anyway. The hospital staff didn't know if she'd survive long enough to thin her blood enough to prevent a heart attack or stroke. Thankfully she did, but she was in severe pain and had to quit nursing her newborn due to medications. She has been told she can no longer use any prescription birth control due to the possibility of recurrence. She also STILL has to take blood thinners, 2 years later. She was originally told it should only be necessary for 6 months.
