@agag I am 71 and I started on HRT 18 months ago. I had osteoporosis Lowest was-2.6 femeral neck. I have been going to the gym lifting weights, impact training, balance training. Improved my diet. My lowest score on my May 2026 DEXA was -2.1. I don't know if HRT helped but it didn't hurt. I wish I started when I was younger. The younger you are the more it helps the bones.

@maryandnans Thank you for sharing, so interesting, it's encouraging to hear from someone who started HRT later and still saw improvement in their bone density. Your comment about wishing you had started younger really resonates with me, as that's exactly what I'm trying to work out now. It's also impressive how much work you've put into strength training, balance work and improving your diet.

Can I ask whether your improvement from -2.6 to -2.1 was over the 18 months since starting HRT, or over a longer period?
