So your Moms doctor wants her to have brittle bones on top of her other problems? My mother has been on hormone replacement since she was 38 and she is now 78.

It is not unheard of for athletes that do not get their period to have osteoporosis or osteopenia and stress fractures because their bones are not getting the estrogen they need for good bone strength and development. I highly recommend that you see your gynecologist to make sure the only reason that you are not getting your period is that you are underweight and if there is no other reason then that to get on some sort of estrogen replacement or birth control pills.
I have severe osteoporosis as a result. I am 22 years old. I was put on birth control for the estrogen to help replenish my bones, and return my period. (I do not menstruate without the pill) I have doubts of my being able to actually carry a child in the future, but was considering a surrogate mother. Is there anyway to tell if I'm even producing eggs anymore? Is a surrogate, with my egg and husband's sperm possible?
The Estrace is a bioidentical estrogen, too, but when placed in the Vagina it will stay in that area and not add to the overall amount of estrogen in your system.

I need help asking a doctor to really take a look at my painful bones in my lower legs. They are very painful on light touching -- they feel as if I had banged my shin on something, although I did not and the tenderness has continued for two years. I can barely tolerate anyone handling the tops of my feet (pedicurist, husband). Sometimes my lower legs just ache. My left ankle often swells to a huge size with pitting edema.
Tamoxifen blocks the estrogen naturally produced in your body. You may have had mastectomies and reconstruction but there is always breast tissue left behind as it's impossible to get it all.
A lot of women think that if they have their ovaries removed or if they've gone through menopause that they don't have estrogen but it's still there, the adrenals produce it. If you have an estrogen positive cancer, you want to block it.
