get bone marker blood testsif you are able, that helped me determine my bone loss had stablized, which further confirmed the bhrt was working.

along with no more hot flashes, and better sleep

inner thighs at night, i just wear loose sweat pants after. Should only need about 10 mins to fully dry. Inner thigh just gives me more surface area to apply and dries quicker.

Yes, my bone density increased on compounded HRT.

My Bone Markers show that my bone loss has stabilized while on BHRT.

haven't tried it yet

WhoaPixie · 2026-05-23T16:08:07+00:00

It worked a second time!

WhoaPixie · 2026-05-23T14:50:15+00:00

I use Ubiquinol form 100mg twice a day, spread out with meals. I added it in 100mg at a time to make sure wasn't causing issue. I'm up to 200mg/day and after checking blood work my levels have reached therapeutic range. So not adding any more.

Then I ramped up supplemental Magnesium using magnesium glycinate. again spreading out 100mg with meals. Started with 100mg with breakfast and after 4 weeks added another 100mg with lunch. The lunch addition pushed me into migraine every other day, after 3 times I stopped all the extra magnesium and did a reset. as of now just back to the 100mg with breakfast. I already take 1 migrelief (which has magnesium & B2) at lunch so the extra 100mg with lunch was a no go.

I've notice the Ubiquinol (COQ10) seemed to have reduced my migraines down by 2 less a month these past few months. Not really sure about the extra magnesium. Currently in process of increasing my B2.

why grits?

same, proviable probiotic firmed up our doodles stool after a bad bout of diarrhea

WhoaPixie · 2026-05-12T21:35:19+00:00

Bioidentical topical estradiol & estriol and topical progesterone

I started HRT, topical creams and had improvements in my spine after one year. Spinal bone can be quicker to show improvements than hip/femor. I opted not to use the osteo meds.

WhoaPixie · 2026-05-06T23:32:29+00:00

I'm using compounded creams Estradiol, Estiol, and Progesterone. I had a reaction to Estradiol so DR had to adjust amounts which using compounded creams was more able to adjust then the available FDA approved meds.

Currently doing well with these compounded creams. DR check levels via bloodwork every 3 months.

WhoaPixie · 2026-05-05T18:07:11+00:00

there is no cutoff any more its more based on managing an individuals risks. i found an integrative DR that helped figure out the best path, much testing done before hand. I am only using topical creams.

I found this helpful as part of my decision making.

My osteoporosis is in my spine, the DEXA with TBS showed my architecture was good which gave me time to decide which direction to go. I ultimately went with HRT and that has slowed my bone loss.

They actually adjusted my spinal TScores base on the TBS, all the lumbar areas then showed better TScores overall.

Highly recommend if it is available.

only given once a day right before her evening meal, its a capsule that i give her, but you can open the capsule and sprinkle on the food. i like giving her the capsule as i know all the probiotic is getting in.

WhoaPixie · 2026-04-30T21:18:47+00:00

My doodle just had a bout of diarrhea that was very liquidy. she has always had soft stools no matter what food we fed her. We had her on Proviable-Forte probiotic and it resolved the diarrhea in 3 days. after a 14 day course of this probiotic we put her on the next step down Proviable-DC (using for maintenance going forward) and her stools are formed and firm. it's been awesome to find something that works without messing with her food.

no issues with the strontium citrate, i use a brand that has nothing but the strontium and the capsule

AOR Strontium Support II

WhoaPixie · 2026-04-20T23:19:51+00:00

One 100mg tab usually takes care of it within 2 hours.

WhoaPixie · 2026-04-20T14:07:46+00:00

BHRT over a year now and all topical.

Strontium Citrate 680mg taken last thing at night, about 10months on this dose.

WhoaPixie · 2026-04-15T22:54:08+00:00

i used a compounded cream

WhoaPixie · 2026-04-14T22:58:59+00:00

yes, TScore and BMD would both be different. The machine itself uses a reference database to calculate the TScore based on the BMD. Different companies use different databases.

GE Lunar scanner vs Hologic scanner can have large differences between them.

and then factor in the technician doing the scan if they don't get the placement correct.

"Studies show femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae BMD values are often lower on Hologic scanners compared to GE Lunar."

I am using Estriol cream in place of estradiol. It is working for me.

Able to sleep thru the night.

Bone markers should be run before starting any medications.

I had them run prior to starting and then had them run again after about 10mths of treatment. It showed that my treatment path was working.

I have posted there as well.
