Lawsuit on the NuvaRing?

I just found out about the NuvaRing lawsuit today which actually had to make me smile.

Before I got pregnant with the twins I had seen a Dr. at my practice. I did NOT care for her and requested never to see her again (this was the first and LAST time seeing her)
I had made this visit in October because I was about to stop nursing my daughter who was turning two in November. I was on what is known as the "mini pill" and was told to go onto regular birth control when I was stopping.
During my visit with this particular doctor I had expressed my feelings on the pill and how it was hard to remember to take it daily and was interested in alternate options. She kept pushing the NuvaRing on me! Told me over 10 times that I should take the NuvaRing (all of which I had expressed why I was refusing...seriously, the answer hadn't changed the whole time.) I asked about Mirena, the patch and other contraceptives but she would ONLY allow the NuvaRing. Coming out of that visit, I felt like she was being commissioned for it.
Whilst leaving, I made another appointment with my original doctor and did not take the NuvaRing, but the regular pill.

Fast Forward to today and I am now seeing advertisements about a lawsuit against the NuvaRing and it really makes me wonder how it would have effected me had I fallen into the pressure of this doctor. At that time I had felt cornered, and like I HAD to use this NuvaRing, but I stood my ground. Now, I am more than happy I did. In my past I have already been tested for DVT and blood clots. To see this?! Makes me wonder if I had taken it...would it have been worse for me?

Today is one of those days I will hug my babies just a little tighter.
