I keep a chart of my DEXA's since 2001. I had a steep drop after menopause and then a continued drop but at a much lower rate. I would add that I was on a cancer drop that confuses the rates for me. My cancer med eliminated adrenal estrogen post-menopause and again I had a steep drop in 2015 followed by much lower rate of bone density loss thereafter.

If yours has remained the same, that is great. What supplements are you taking? If any contain strontium, that could make things look better than they are on the DEXA. I take calcium citrate, magnesium, K2 (MK-7), 2-3,000 units D3, folate and B complex, walk and do tai chi. Would like to read what else you might be taking - or doing- to achieve that stability.
