Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Blood clots are just one possible cause of elevated ddimers. There are some other disorders such as gynecologic disorders, autoimmune disorders, smoking,liver cirrhosis and some rare ones so if there won't be a fall,you should do more extensive work up.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
