Unklikely : Hrt is asscociated with a higher risk of dvt, however the time to form the clot depends on patient factors as well as the type of replacement. If you are at risk for dvt, you should weigh the risks and benefits of hrt with your physician, and probably should have a ultrasound of your veins prior to starting hrt.
