I have been warned off HRT -- I am 73, slightly more than 10 years past menopause onset, and I have cardiomyopathy. But I started wondering whether vaginal estrogen could help even in a tiny way to preserve bone density. I have been on Tymlos for 2 years, have to transition onto another osteoporosis drug, and the more I research, the longer it's taking me to decide which drug. I found a 2007 study that did find vaginal estrogen helped ever so slightly with the bones. Has anyone out there ever been prescribed it -- certainly NOT as a first-line OP treatment, but just as a little boost? I have severe osteoporosis and need all the help I can get.

As I understand it, there is a very low dose transdermal Estradiol patch (0.014 mg/day ) that is intended only for bone protectiveness. Something to look into, if you haven’t already.
