Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I read your query and understood your concern.
It's a good thing that you are preparing for future pregnancy and the medication (estrogen) hasn't caused leg thrombosis.
However to protect you from leg thrombosis in the future you can take safely baby aspirin regularly.
Baby aspirin has been approved to be safe against thrombosis and can be used even during pregnancy.
Hope i answered to your query.
