I have found nothing to indicate that it has any increased risk for blood clots, and in fact the only solid evidence for that at all only applies to a single particular source which is hardly used by anyone with any sense anymore: premarin. As of right now all other estrogens are merely supposed to increase that risk because they KNOW premarin did.
That doesn't mean it isn't true of other estrogens, only that no one's bothered to prove it.
As for medical supervision... most of us, both men, and women, who use PM do so without consulting their doctors, I would suspect.
Of course, if you have a doctor who's OK with holistic medicine, then, by all means, get supervised... If you're also OK with coming out to them...
You do have to be aware that this stuff IS sufficiently strong enough that you will eventually begin to show. Your changes will become indisguisable. So if you go down this path, you will eventually be forced to come out at least a little. Maybe not completely, but at least some.
Granted, I would never ever have been able to "only come out some". LOL. I was out completely before even starting on PM.
