I believe I read here on the forum that oral estradiol may cause blood clots but the patch (transdermal) does not (not sure if that is true). I take Eliquis but might have considered the "patch" ... when I asked the MO about estradiol it was obvious he did not know anything about it. So I think the first problem is getting it prescribed, at least from any Dr in my part of the woods. Then, if you can get it, frequent testing is required to get the optimal level right. More appointments? I need a break from appts AND a break from ADT......lol...it never ends!

This is a perfect question to get answered from the https://estradiolinitiative.org. You could contact them at their website and ask this question.

The patch version is supposed to get around these kinds of issues.
