Damn girl! You were a right chimney! Good going on getting it down that low! And keep it going! Don't relax into a NEW smoking habit!
That'll be one of the first things a good endo is going to ask you about, you know. Because once you add smoking, high levels of estradiol in the blood plus smoking DOES raise your risk of DVT AND a serious stroke from it tremendously! This is a KNOWN risk of smoking among ALL WOMEN, as well as those who use hormone supplementation.
