Is hrt a good option after Evenity

I should have mentioned that my primary reason for considering hrt at my age was to increase energy, libido, ability to increase muscle and help with sleep. I am concerned that three providers could not seem to consider hrt and did not seem to be able to discuss the current thinking about the flawed women's health initiative study.

I am 71 and I have been on biote pellets . My endo did not like the idea but I feel that along with the Evenity that is why I had such a great increase in my BMD . I will continue with the pellets . I just had my 1 st injection of Prolia after being on Evenity for a year .

The current preferred HRT prescribed by many physicians appears to be transdermal estradiol plus oral micronized progesterone if the uterus is intact. The preferred starting time is within 10 years post menopause with exceptions. The presenter in this video talked about HRT usage in the management of osteopenia/osteoporosis:
My impression from different readings is that estrogen could be used as an antiresorptive (among its other benefits to the bones), but it's not as strong as say, alendronate/fosamax or reclast.
Please keep us posted regarding your endeavors in using HRT, and whether or not you will use bone markers to monitor progress.
All the best!
