Medical Examiner noted daughter's use of NuvaRing in report
MUSKEGON, Mich. — A mother in West Michigan is warning women about the potential dangers associated with certain birth control methods.
Alexzandria Givens died in July, just two days shy of her 21st birthday. She had gotten out of bed to use the restroom when she collapsed. Her boyfriend quickly dialed 911 and Ally's parents.
Ally's mother, Carla Givens, told FOX 17 on Friday, “It was a worst nightmare phone call you’d ever get in your life. We got it and we rushed out of bed and went to his house and when we got there, the door was open and she was laying there and they were trying to revive her and they couldn’t.”
Carla had been on the phone with her daughter the evening before. She says Ally hadn't felt like herself that night, but couldn't pinpoint anything particularly wrong with her. Ally was excited about the house she and her boyfriend were about to buy together.
"She was just a fun loving person," Carla said.
Carla and the rest of the family were heartbroken, but their sadness quickly turned to anger when the medical examiner made a ruling on her cause of death. Alexzandria died of multiple pulmonary embolisms in her lungs caused by blood clots. The medical examiner involved in Ally's autopsy told Carla the blood clots and ensuing complications were the result of her using the NuvaRing.
The medical examiner's report lists 'History of Exogenous Hormone Use (NuvaRing)' as a major contributing factor in Ally's death.

Nuvaring is very clear about the side effects and blood clotting is talked about by the company extensively. It says to also discuss this with your doctor.
How much time did her doctor give her about this potential and well-known risk.
Further who put the gun to her head and demanded she use it?
have been reading about this for years and heard nothing good about it. Sounds like the dawg on thing needs to be taken off the market.
Good questions. Here is another: did her doctor screen her for risk of blood clots? If not, a malpractice suit is in order.
For this and other reasons nobody should ever take birth control advice from a clinic. PE is insidious and deadly.
Also rhymes with: "neutering".
Cost of doing it without natural byproduct of conception. When will they ever learn....when will they ever....
Ya gets what’s ya pay for...it’s not nice to fool with motha’ nature.
