I had mine done too when I was 26 and then 30 and as far as I remember it was pretty fast. Perhaps iodine can help you be protected too if you decide to go through it.
The first time, mine showed osteoporosis in the spine and osteopenia in the hips and I was scolded pretty badly by the doctor because 'i didn't drink milk'. I did a bit of research and found the same that Chu mentioned, that truly it isn't even recommend to do it for most people unless you are at risk of fractures and that for some people that's just their normal bone density.
However, after finding that out I took lots of bone broth, vitamin D, magnesium and boron which are all good for bones and I did the test again and I had no signs of osteoporosis anymore after 4 years. I mention this because people tend to think that these things are irreversible, but my experience shows that it isn't, and perhaps you can just strengthen your bones with nutrients and exercise if you're a bit worried about it.

I´m very happy for you! Onwards and upwards!
