I’ve always read that HRT is risky if not started within ten years post menopause. Have any of you started down this path much later than that, even twenty years? I think I would be just as fearful doing hormones as I would doing bone drugs, although it makes a bit more sense to add something back in that is lacking rather than add something entirely foreign. I haven’t really considered this option, since I never had any need for HRT when going through menopause twenty years ago. But I am exploring ALL options now, since last week’s DEXA showed further decline in lumbar from -3.2 Tscore to -3.7. Hips are stable and not osteoporotic from two years ago. I need to add that I have not had breast cancer myself, although I lost a sister to it many years ago.
