I am 27 I was put on nuvaring after having my second baby because my dr thought I would forget to take a pill and it would be easier for me. After starting nuvaring in June 2011 ( and I am a very healthy person) august 4,2011 I went to work with my chest hurting so bad I almost cried, I went home and could not make myself get off the couch until… The pain was unbearable I told my husband I had to go to the er , when I got there I was having issues breathing and the pain under my rib was killing me ! After ruling out all the options my dr did a cat scan and found the blood clot in my left lung, fluid on my lungs and because of the clot they also found that I have a heart murmur. And did I mention I do not smoke drink or take any other medications . The dr said that this was defiantly caused by the birth control nuvaring . Now I am dealing with post traumatic stress disorder and having to see a counselor . I can not sleep at night now and I have 2 kids 2 and 4 that demands my attention . This has completely change my life and way of thinking . And now i have to take blood thinner for 6-12 months and have weekly blood draws .Please take this a a warning and stop using the nuvaring !

I was on Yaz and the Nuvaring for quite sometime. The Nuvaring was the lastest form of birth control that I was on and since being on the Nuvaring and Yaz I’ve had serveral problems with my heart speading up and was recently diagnosed with PSVT which is a form of Tachycardia. I now have to take heart medication for the rest of my life just so my heart won’t beat too fast and cause me to have a heart attack.

I’ve been on the Nuva Ring for almost 5 years now. I’ve experienced head aches, leg cramps (that would wake me out of a dead sleep), and anxiety, just like every other person in the world. Not a single one of them has been persistant or overly bothersome. I go to my doctor every 3 months for follow ups and nothing has transpired into anything bad. I love Nuva Ring, and i think that some people are overly sensitive or just jump to conclusions too easily. Does anyone have medical proof to any of their stories?

I was on NuvaRing for 6 months. I started having severe headaches a few weeks after I began using NuvaRing. I went to my family med doctor for a while. I was put on migrain medication. Nothing was helping the pain.I was referred to a Neurologist. I had MRI, EEG, full blood panels. Everything came back normal. I had been to a chiropractor, dentist, and my eye doctor. Everything was normal. I then got pregnant while on Nuva RIng. I had no clue that it was Nuva Ring causing the headaches. Now I am almost 8 weeks pregnant, no headaches. This product needs to be removed from the market. It is a very dangerous product.

I stopped the using the Nuva ring because it made me bleed like a cut up cow, then I tried the patch and it gave me real bad headaches and I then they put me on Yaz and that made me have headaches and leg cramps.

I googled nuvaring leg cramps because I’ve been on this BC for one month now and since I’ve been on it, I’ve been experiencing the worst leg cramps. They’re so bad that at night I will wake up to the pain of them. After reading some of the side effects and other’s experiences with it, I am going back to the pill!

I have a simular situation. I was put on nuva ring by a annex teen clinic. I did smoke, but the risk factor was over the age 35years of age so i didn’t think it would affect me at all. I also have a low factor 7 which, my blood don’t clot easily. (confusing huh) i will tell you the story. I started having really bad chest pains at work, they told me to the er. I was in the er and they said i had a blood clot in my lung i was 22 years old. They couldnt find were it started though. I was on lovenox for almost 1 year cause i couln’t take couminden cause of my blood disorder. Its scary thing, now i watch and make sure i go in if i expierence anything else. It just sucks now cause i can notice all the problems with my life now verses before i would ignore them

I was put on Nuva Ring back in 2005 after my second son was born because I could not take the pills. At first everything was fine and then about six or seven months later I started having difficulty breathing and would have to use my aunts nebulizer in order to breath. I stopped using the ring and all went back to normal. My doctor once again put me back on the ring after my youngest son was born in March of 2008 and I started having breathing problems once more. I stopped using it after two weeks of not being able to breath and have not had any problems since then. I have had several trips to the emergency room because of it but was told that there was nothing going on with my chest. This scares me because I am 25 years old and have four young children. What would happen to them and my husband if something bad happened to me?

I was put on the nuvaring and after a few months i had alot of problems breathing off and on, then after the third straight day of not being able to do anything without having such chest pain I went to the ER. They ran some blood tests and came back normal and the Dr. didn’t think I had a blood clot but ordered a chest x-ray just to make sure and that’s when they found the blood clot on my lung. I was immeadiately ommitted into the hospital, stayed over night and almost had to stay another night because I was still having breathing problems. I then had to have two shots a day in the stomach for almost two weeks then put on blood thinner pills for six months. It’s a very scary thing, especially when you have kids to take care of.
