I am of course no expert. But I have not heard of a Ggirl getting DVT while on PM. (Anyone knows better please chime in) I have read from one (male) individual that was suffering pains in the leg after starting PM. But they stopped when he upped his water intake. I think (my opinion) that you would have to take a lot of PM to run this risk. Unless you had a pre-existing condition that could cause it. (see second web site link)
While bresque, I believe carla is right about the difference in estrogenic material between plants and Pharmaceutical hormones.

Lastly, I have read of a few things that can help prevent blood clotting. Asprin and Fish oil can help prevent blood clots by causing the blood to thin. Fish oil can cause blood plateletts to be less sticky to one another.
I found that in one of these web sites. Sorry I didn't have time to look up which web site it was.
