Yes I have had three “provoked” DVTs in my lower legs, so nothing too scary. My sister had a very serious clot that required hospitalization. Based on her test results, my CLL doctor at Mayo thought it worth testing me too. My sister and I have the same clotting mutations. Thankfully she didn’t pass them on to her kids. My kids will be tested in the near future.

So many mysteries in our genetics. It’s good that you and your sister were tested and the kids too! Knowledge is power and this gives them all a leg up…clot free. Sorry that was a bad pun. 😅
When you say provoked DVTs, of course that piqued my interest…
