I was going to ask you about this because I found out I have a gene that predisposes me to having DVT and both my mother and brother had it. Someone else was trying to tell me that "natural" estrogen wouldn't be an issue, but that just didn't sound right to me.
Fortunately my peri symptoms have been really, really easy so far. |
