Hi @sonyarountree Ovarian Vein Thrombosis is unfamiliar to me so I did a little sleuthing on your behalf. According to the National Institute of Health it is a well known but rare event. Treatments often include antibiotics and anticoagulants. The clotting can happen during the postpartum period after giving birth, with women on birth control and with certain pelvic inflammatory conditions.

I haven’t been able to find any members in the forum who have this condition but I did find several articles online from reputable sources to provide you with some information.

Have you been given any anticoagulant to dissolve the blood clot?

I appreciate you so much. I have done a lot of research on it as well and have found nothing on someone as me. I have not recently had a baby nor any surgeries of any kind nor anything that would even lead to me getting this. I'm just dumbfounded over it all. I am now trying to find a physician that does know about this diagnosis that's can help me to better understand how & why I possibly got it and answer all of my questions. I'm on Eliquis now to hopefully get it to go away as well as antibiotics. Thanks so much for your response back.
