It appears our bodies continue to need adequate estrogen pass menopause. Yet we are warned not to take it due cancer risks. All the data on osteoporosis tells us since we are postmenopausal bone loss occurs. It is almost as if women are being blamed for continuing to live and develop osteoporosis. Then we are prescribed various bone medications 10 times more dangerous - my opinion only. I wish I had remained on the low dose BC pill needed to get through menopause. Years later when prescribed estrogen cream for vaginal dryness and seeing the difference a very small amount of estrogen makes I realized something is wrong with the current no-estrogen approach. Ideally the medical profession will one day realize their strategy dealing with osteoporosis needs adjustment and research how, if possible, to use estrogen to our advantage past menopause. Who needs a uterus and ovaries after menopause?
Wishing you well in your quest for health.
