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.
