Thanks for talking me off the cliff 🙂 This is my first real encounter with the US healthcare system as I've been healthy (or thought I was) until now. No chronic conditions, no medications, etc. so I never had to do much more than get my annual exams, mammograms and colonoscopies. What an eye opener this has been.
You mentioned "after lots of tests" you figured out it was estrogen. If you don't mind sharing, what tests were done? I'm trying to gather as much information before I go back to my NP.
Thanks again!

The following videos helped me greatly when first getting started. I knew when i finally got in to see a Dr what questions to ask and to make sure tests (blood & urine) were run. Because if they don't understand the underlying reason for your osteoporosis you could start a treatment and not get the results exected.
Causes and treatments
Secondary causes of osteoporosis
When i finally decided to go the HRT route the functional medicine Dr ran a Dutch Test and Bloodwork to understand my hormone levels before starting. I also chose topical creams for my hormone therapy, as this has the least amount of risk in my opinion.
