Does this stuff contain synthetic estrogen? If so, that easily explains the DVT risk. Which is weirdly totally fine when cis women take them for birth control, but trans women get the tired DVT scare tactic repeated when doctors gatekeep BIOIDENTICAL ESTRADIOL which taken transdermal/injection doesn't do much anything to blood clotting factors. 
Just pointing out the hypocrisy of being totally fine giving cis women DVT risk but using safety as a gate keeping crutch to make us not get the treatment we need.
Anyway, the said risk with synthetic estrogens exists and it can be bearable risk, but its obviously better to steer clear. Especially to anyone who has naturally thick blood or tendency for blood clots. I would try to avoid anything with elevated DVT risk as I have naturally thick blood which gets easily thicker from external stimulus like what smoking used to do. Good side is a truckload of stuff which makes wounds stop bleeding which can be a life saver, but it makes surgeries difficult and any medication which elevates clotting factors might be a big no go.
