Adding Oral Estrogen on Post menopause woman
I’m 66 years old with no breast cancer. Do any of you have experience adding a low dosage oral estrogen to maintain or encourage bone growth?

I'm not sure we can determine efficacy of strontium, melatonin and micronutrients from the MOTS trial as it was a very small study with only 10 women receiving this protocol. In addition, I don't think cofounders of these participants; exercise and nutrition protocols, etc, were mentioned unless I missed that. Larger studies are definitely needed to determine the safety and efficacy of strontium. I couldn't find the Coombs study.

2 ReactionsHow long have you been on the estrogen and have you had a bone density after taking estrogen? If so, has your bones remained the same, loss bone or gained bone?

1 ReactionI’ve only been on it for a few wks. I will get a scan after a year. I may go on Forteo. I will do more research. I will continue the low dose of estrogen only, not progesterone.

1 ReactionKeep us posted. Is there a reason why no Progesterone? Did the dr recommend not too?
I’m just asking to learn, as I want to see if I can get on that patch. I have also learned some people do use progesterone too; however, I don’t know anymore than that.
