Hi tracy1968
Sorry to hear about your DVT - was the reason established as to why this occurred? I presume you were advised to make any lifestyle changes if necessary re smoking, alcohol, body weight, exercise, diet etc (I realise some of these may not be relevant to you) to help prevent the chance of it happening again, and perhaps you are on medication too?
When you say you've been having symptoms - what are the ones troubling you and are you still having periods - if so how often do they come?
From the info on this site HRT is not necessarily out of the question if symptoms become debilitating - but you would need to be referred to a specialists. here is the info:
Thrombosis
Since HRT is associated with a small increased risk of venous thrombosis, care must be taken when considering HRT use in women with a past or family history of thrombosis. Depending on the indication for HRT and on the cause of the thrombosis, risks and benefits should be assessed. If HRT is to be used, preference would usually be given to the transdermal route (patch or gel) [ref 22]. Specialist advice should be requested. Vaginal estrogen may be used for treatment of vaginal and bladder symptoms.http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/atoz.php#GlossTThere are lots of ways we can help you depending on where you are in menopause and your symptoms.
