Talk to your doctor, but after my massive stroke (ischemic so it was a clot in my brain) they just prescribed me baby aspirin after discharging me from ICU. It didn’t work enough and 6 months later I had a mini stroke, and have been on Aggrenox and baby aspirin since then, with no issues. That was 12 years ago.
Edit, the stroke was when I was 30, so I was pretty close in age to you when it happened in 2012. Started E in 2023 against my neurologist’s advice.

Yes, I had a stroke after I quit drugs and drinking. Lost 70lbs from exercising during rehab and 3 months later, BAM. Stroke. Took a while to get a prescribed estrogen. I had a cardiologist write a letter to PP. Had blood work to show my cholesterol was good. Had to go to a hematologist and have 19 vials of blood taken to prove I have no clotting disorders.
Now I take 6mg a week injection and I take baby aspirin daily. I actually take 2 of those sucker's on injection day and the day after just incase.
Still bone sober and I cycle competitively now to stay in shape

Yes.
I started monotherapy in September, in January I had serious difficulty breathing and went to hospital. Was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and put on blood thinners which I will be on for the rest of my life, I didn’t tell them I was on hormones but stopped (February?), still have difficulty breathing especially after some exertion.
As my sister said - it’s better to be alive as a man than dead as a woman. It is what it is I guess.
