How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

Thank you. Unfortunately, that time as come and gone. Don't get me wrong. I was thrilled to be done with periods. The unfortunate part is that I wasn't put on HRT. I went through a bizarrely early menopause (was in my early 30s). I'm almost 55 now. Generally, they say you need to start HRT before age 60 and w/i 10 yrs of your last period. I've recently found a doctor who is willing to prescribe HRT to me even though I don't meet the w/i 10 year criterion. I'm been considering it but I haven't made up my mind.

I have many friends in their 70’s and 80’s that had hysterectomy’s in their 40’s and started on HRT immediately. The have had no side effects and have been on HRT for 40 yrs. Many of them not on progesterone, just estrogen low dose patch. Doctors are afraid to prescribe it I believe, due to law suits. The early nurses study was shut down thirty yrs ago due to a few deaths. I’m referring to women over 60 for ERT. It’s also issues for insurance companies to cover for women over 60. Thankfully, we gave this site to discuss and learn about this critical issue.

Fear fracture…. I am 65 soon to be 66 , seeing McCormick this week and will ask the hormone replacement question, cause I too am curious. I just had an endocrinologist appt 2weeks ago. Though she is new to my case I had many questions and things I wanted to hear from her. As the last and my first and only endocrinologist recommended Forteo to me 8 months ago -4 mo post L1 fracture….. she as well thought that Forteo was best. I’ve done a lot of learning since my fx a year ago …. Anyway I popped her the question about HRT , my age, menopause etc and I’m about 10/11 years out…and her response when I brought that up was “you know I might consider doing Forteo along with some HRT. “Just thought I’d pass that on as information for you and others. Good luck on your path!!!
