Young woman diagnosed with osteoporosis

I think you’re right that something is off. Has your doctor put you on hormone replacement or added any hormones for you to take? Sounds like your hormones are completely out of balance.
I’m 72 but two years ago my doctor checked my hormone levels and put me on progesterone due to some of my symptoms, one being difficultly sleeping, and it helped tremendously.
Continue to seek answers and Continue to listen to your inner voice. Wishing you the best to find what will help you.

Hi @gigi4
My doctor didn't suggest taking hormone replacement therapy. When I did my first dexa scan, the osteoporosis has already progressed (i.e. I didn't discover osteopenia first). So, my guess is that it is maybe too late for the hormones. I might be wrong though. My doctor told me that bisphosphonates are my safest bet right now. My T-scores are really low.
