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.

I started 10 years out. Find a doctor that will support you. The bone drugs fill in your holes, but make your bone quality more brittle.

@sl303 estrogen is primarily anti-resorptive. Progesterone has anabolic effect on bone. They are best at preventing loss of bone, but even together aren't anabolic in the way that Forteo and Tymlos are.
