I already did, and I still don't understand why not to be taking estrogen.

I know it can cause blood clot, omega 3 and aspirin can cause blood thin.
That is why they check PT/PTT and if it's fine there is no problem.
Usually there is no problem taking estrogen unless you are on estrogen super overdose, otherwise the blood clotting is just normal.

Apparently testosterone also causes blood cloth, which is pretty much why many doctors won't ask you to stop hormones, with estrogen and anti androgens you are balancing your blood, if you stop you may actually cause it to imbalance by lowering estrogen and not yet having high testosterone causing blood thinning and excess bleeding, kinda like the effect of aspirin and omega 3.
