Do read the whole thing. I had to snip out a lot because it's CNN.
If you know an y woman on NuvaRing birth control -- mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend --- please warn her that it could be life-threatening.
Life is all about choices.....
Speaking of it, how are you doing with your recovery (from an unrelated illness)? Hope all is well.
How about honoring their child’s name by encouraging women to avoid poisoning their bodies with pharmaceuticals and to keep sex within the confines of marriage? what a culture of death we have created!
Nuva-RING? Bruce “Bernice” Jenner may find it useful in a few months.
‘Two studies conducted in 2011 and 2012 reveal the risk of developing a serious blood clot among NuvaRing users is 11.4 and 8.3 per 10,000 women in a year, respectively. The NuvaRing’s label was updated in 2013 by the FDA with information about both studies.”
So at the higher end the risk is 0.14% of developing a blood clot.
EVERY package insert for any form of hormonal BC includes the warning about increased risk of thromboembolic disease. Every medicine is a trade off of effectiveness risk and side effects.
In addition, older women, overweight women and smokers all have increased risk of clots with hormone use. All of this spelled out in the package inserts for hormones.
All hormonal birth control brings an increased risk of blood clots.

Hormonal BC is the spawn of Satan.
