I suggest you try ingesting leafy green vegetables as a source of calcium. Unfortunately, animal proteins like milk actually withdraw more calcium from bones than they add. The Nurses' Study showed that women who drink three or more glasses of milk were more likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Milk and dairy also prolong your exposure to estrogen by causing an early menstruation and late menopause. This poses a risk of breast and other forms of cancer. Men also increase their risk of prostate cancer by consuming excess quantities of dairy products. Hormones in milk, even organic milk, are extremely powerful and detrimental to humans. If you are willing to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet, you can avoid all milk and dairy products. The standard American diet is far too rich in animal proteins for optimal health. For research to back up my statements, please look online for the web side of T. Colin Campbell, an eminent researcher in the field of nutrition.

You can still reverse the damage or prevent it. But it would likely get worse... how much is solely depending on you.

Its most likely to get worst because during menopause the amount of oestrogen in your bones drops and it is oestrogen that helps calcium stay in your bones, lack of oestrogen = lack of calcium and the strength of your bones can weaken however the deterioration can be slowed down by a good diet contaning lots of calcium

When you reach menopause you will consider using hormones to prevent further damage to your bones. Hormones get a very bad press and many of the scare stories are highly exaggerated.
