"bilateral pulmonary emboli directly due to nuvaring use. 
misdiagnosed by first couple physicians and sent directly to er after another physician recognized the signs of a potential blood clot. i was extremely active, had a great career, and never thought something like this would happen to me. i really liked the nuvaring for a variety of reasons, but nothing is worth dying for. this came very close to killing me and i had to make big changes to my life after my blood clots. weigh risks and benefits with more than 1 physician, and look for alternatives!!!"
