I'm sorry to hear about your experience on PM. I've been on it for 7 months, but at a much lower dosage. I'm curious what symptoms did you have that sent you to the hospital?  I've had some leg cramps, but I associate that with the warmer months and my active lifestyle. Nothing extremely painful.

Wishing you all the best!!

Thanks. It started a good month before being hospitalized. Would get tightness and aches in my calves. Tried red light therapy which seemed to help, and also stopped PM. Even walking up a very small incline my left calf muscle would ache, like I had done a vigorous workout. Wait a few weeks then started PM again. The ache returned but didn't seem as bad so kept on the PM. Woke up one morning and my calve was VERY swollen and tight. Noticeable larger than the right one. Waited 24 hours and then went to see my GP. The did a D-Dimer blood test. Mine came back at 9000, should be below 50. Went to ER immediately and they admitted me. Blood thinners for the next 6 months. After further research, and confirmed by doctors, HRT can cause DVT. So there ends my journey trying to grow breasts.
