I've never taken any drugs for bone loss, but have gotten improvement in my DEXA scan when I started a transdermal estradiol patch. Creams did not work.

Can you share your numbers on the Dexa and how long you used the estrogen patch to see improvements? I am on estradiol patch .075 2x/week. I just started.

I would be interested as well. I am trying to figure out what dose of the patch and testosterone pellet may have the biggest impact on my bones. Started on .025 and now .0375. I believe that my provider will be increasing it today. Did you pay out of pocket for additional dexa scan to monitor the impact?
