Does hrt cause dvt immeditaly?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

No, but...: Hyper-estrogenic states make one hyper coagulable. So, hrt such as prempro (conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone) increases the tendency to clot over several months, but not immediately. One caveat is smoking and ocs or hrt. The risk for DVT and/or pe is 4x the typical incidence.
