Is Osteoporosis reversible in post menopausal women?

Hello, I recently had a consultation about starting HRT outside the usual age related limits. My doctor plans to do additional tests but seems willing. Just wondering, did you decide to move ahead with starting HRT? Thank you.

@tillymack i am most interested in what you decide because I am considering the same thing, despite a lumpectomy 5 years ago. I'm just less scared of HRT than the bone density drugs Are you doing bioidentical? That always seems a little safer.

@tillymack Early last fall, my doctor did prescribe HRT for me. My life was super-hectic at that time so I put off starting HRT. I had a DEXA in mid-December 2024, and my lumbar BMD had improved by 5% and my total mean hip had improved by 7%. Since I was able to improve my BMD via gym/weights, I decided not to do HRT. Had my BMD not improved, I would have started HRT. Hope that helps.
