How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

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.

From what I’ve read, there are doctors who think it’s safe to stay on HRT for life. The problem w/ HRT was w/ synthetic hormones, now bioidentical HRT is available and considered safe. https://mitchellmed.com/synthetic-vs-bioidentical-hormone-replacement-therapy/
If I were going through menopause today, I would start bioidentical HRT immediately. My problem is that I’ve been post-menopausal for over 2 decades and I don’t want to start something that will cause another health problem. At the moment, I’m leaning towards trying a very low dose HRT but I haven’t decided yet. If anyone reading this started HRT more than 10 yrs after menopause, I would love to hear about your experience.
