@ipg started HRT 10 years after menopause. Increased my bone by 5% in one year. No longer osteoporosis. Before you take the bone drugs, study up on them. They have serious side effects.

@dvargo
I understand completely. However at 71 I don’t believe a dr will give it to me. How old are you?

@dvargo Thank you for sharing that. It's very interesting to hear that you started HRT 10 years after menopause and still saw a 5% increase in bone density.

Can I ask whether HRT was the only treatment you used, or were you also doing strength training, supplements, or taking any osteoporosis medications at the same time? I'm trying to understand what might realistically be achievable from HRT alone versus in combination with other interventions.
