The short answer is yes. Oestrogen in the form of the patch, gel or spray does not raise your risk of blood clot. (Don’t take oestrogen in tablet form as this does have a slight increased risk of clot). And micronised progesterone (Utrogestan) and testosterone are also safe to take if you’ve had a clot in the past.
