As this Commentary is being submitted, no reports of increased incidence of VTEs in pregnant women or women taking estrogen preparations who also have COVID-19 have emerged. Establishing models for basic research into mechanisms of hypercoagulability in COVID-19, let alone intersecting effects of COVID-19 and estrogen therapy or pregnancy, has several hurdles and will require innovative novel animal and tissue models. ./cache/cord-321698-8q25z6ci.txt ./txt/cord-321698-8q25z6ci.txt
