I am going to pinch an estrogen pill to build up my bones since my OB GYNE suggested it to me. Is it really sfe

I have low bone density and i go to the OB gyne to see if my irregular periods could be the incentive of the low bone density and she figured it's not so she's recommend me to take an estrogen pill call Yasmin to build up my bones. How safe is it and it's really primarily for what? Thanks
Answers:

The medication methergine and tobacco side effects?

That is primarily a birth control pill. Here is the abstract of a study done that seem to indicate efficacy in bone turnover with those type drugs. http://www.greenjournal.org/cgi/content/...
More benefit can probably be capture by increasing your aerobic and strenght building exercise rather than of late counting on the pill. Exercise is indicated in maintaining correct bone strength and development. I'm 55 and twice a week I hold a martial arts class newly for the benefits! Walking 30 minutes a day will also work...exercise is great for full-bodied bones.
