I completely agree with your statements. At 76 I decided I wanted quality over quantity of life. I started bioidentical hrt and I have no regrets.

it's funny i'm seeing this thread in my email - maybe it's an a i thing - because just yesterday I googled "can you do HRT 10 years post menopause and still get benefits for osteoporosis" and the answer was yes, just riskier in terms of heart. But to me the drugs themselves are so risky. Plus it seems like the quality of bone you build might be better with the HRT, not that rotten old bone not being removed that you get when you artificially shut down the osteoclasts.

Was the bio identical a patch or implant?
I’m 78 never took HRT. Have tried multiple meds for osteoporosis. Last one Tymolos which gave me excruciating pain in all my joints. Was only started on 4 clicks and only did 1 month. $1600 later back at the drawing board.
I can’t do weight bearing exercises any longer as small tear in shoulder and right calf. I eat well get my calcium thru foods and one Bone Health vitamin as my body doesn’t tolerate synthetic calcium. I’ve tried everything from time released to chewable unfortunately can’t handle.
My GYN stated there’s a bioidentical implant that helps with everything from bone density to cognitive health. Unfortunately once it’s implanted it cannot be taken out if u experience side effects. Since I don’t do well on drugs am frightened to try it. Any info would be appreciated.
