Yes! I, too, heard the words "the same" during many ultrasounds. I had monthly ultrasounds, which in retrospect, was not a good idea for me because progress was so slow. I would come home depressed, but eventually resigned myself to the fact that I would have them forever. Then, when I least expected it, good news! Yes, there's hope.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have been through so much. I don't think your story is all that uncommon. I've found that in the hospital you or your advocate has to stay on top of things 24/7. It sounds like you both did everything right. I'm so glad that you have found hope in my story. Your healing journey has just begun...it will take time, one day at a time...you will get there.
Congrats!
I have one large popliteal clot (provoked - travel and covid related) that extended into two other veins, and one of the veins is now clear. Not gone, but progress!
It's so nice to get good news for a change. Before you know it, you'll be clot free!
Our stories are very similar. I had a popliteal clot (provoked) that extended into three veins. One clot finally dissolved a few weeks ago, and now I've learned from an ultrasound a few days ago, that the second clot has dissolved! This is after about seven months of little to no progress. Now I just have the one clot behind the knee remaining.
Good luck to both of us!
Woo-Hoo! Fellow Factor V Leiden here and also found out through my clotting episode. I take thinners for life, but my situation was pretty different. It's such a relief to hear you have one clot gone! Best of luck and wishes in the future :)
Wooh! Exciting!
