I have an irrational fear of doctors, so hoping it resolves on its own.

Edit: I’m going to the ER, this seems kinda serious. I hope it’s not DVT, that would complicate getting bottom surgery…

Edit2: I’ve been told it’s an infection. Apparently, a blood test confirmed it. I don’t have a clot and a D-dimer test returned 560 ng/ml, which I’m getting checked again with my GP on Monday. I got some antibiotics (for free) and I’m supposed to take those for a week. Thank you everyone for convincing me to go ❤️

    Oral estrogen has a higher risk of DVT than others. If it doesn’t go away in a day, or you have any symptoms of stroke, please treat it as an emergency. If you start coughing up blood, it’s also an emergency, but it’s probably too late.

      I’m on injections, they’re just better. And it turned out to be NOT DVT, thank fucking god. That would have made it impossible for me to get bottom surgery.
      It was an infection and I have some antibiotics to nom :3
