Low dose T- should i be worried about osteoporosis?

(sorry to keep reposting this, it keeps getting deleted by reddit filters for some reason)

I’m 15FTM, and i might start a low dose of diy T soon, and i can’t raise the dose as i am closeted and need to hide the changes from my family for as long as possible (at least 6 months, maybe a year)

i have heard people saying that low dose T can cause osteoporosis, and i know that is probably just fearmongering, but i might have other risk factors…? for example i am quite underweight (bmi 15.9), and i have never had a period. apparently being underweight is a large risk factor for osteoporosis.

i don’t know what to do… i dont want to feminise more, but i dont want to end up with osteoporosis or some other health issues because i messed up my hormone levels. what should i do? should i just take it and see what happens? or should i just pray that i don’t feminise more until i can actually get on a proper T dose? 🙁
