My legs feels swollen but does not look like it, feel heat and tightness and hurt at times. on femodette right now scared might be dvt.

No: The hallmark of DVT is asymmetric (unilateral) swelling: one leg, not the other. A tape measurement of both legs at the same distance from the ankle is the best way to determine this as appearance can be misleading. Your description is not consistent with DVT.
