@debbie1956 hello, can I ask what the dosage is on ur estradiol patch? Your post is very encouraging. I was on Tymlos for 2 years and had great gains in my spine but my rheumatologist wanted me to begin Evenity to continue building bone after that. I was hesitant but my cardiologist suggested BHRT as I was lacking in hormones and said it could stabilize my bones as well. I have an appt with my integrative doc in April and will have bloods drawn to see if the hormones are working. I had a clear calcium scan done a couple years ago so my cardiologist felt confident BHRT would be fine. I’m on 0.025 Estradiol patch, I’m also taking progesterone by mouth and testosterone creme. The only thing I notice is a stubborn bit of weight gain especially in my stomach. I’d like to get a Rems echolight but need to find one in my area. Praying the hormone replacement is working. I’m 73 and had a total hysterectomy when I was 38 so therein the severe osteoporosis. Thanks for sharing. Rose

@dooshie Thank you for sharing your information. I also have a .25 Estradiol patch and 100 mg of micronized progesterone. It is encouraging to hear that your cardiologist suggested BHRT. I'm not aware ofhear medical doctors recommending this where I live in Canada. It's also interesting that your hormone levels were tested. My naturopath said she could test me if I wished but that this wasn't necessary. She said she would not be increasing my level of estrogen which was somewhat surprising. Did your functional medicine doctor recommend testosterone cream? My naturopath also dismissed testosterone when I asked about it. I am aware of others who have a higher level Estradiol patch but .25 isn't unusual from other posts I've seen. Did you have good results from the Tymlos?
