B) "Because you are not ovulating, you are not producing as much estrogen as before.Estrogen helps to keep your bones strong."
C) "It is important to find out if you are losing bone density because you do not produce as much estrogen as you did previously.This test will see if you are developing osteoporosis."
D) "I'll remind the HCP about your bone history.You might not need a bone density test until you are in your 60s."
