Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?

I thought the standard time was 6 months after the last Prolia shot. And some providers, such as Keith McCormick, suggest using the CTX (and maybe the P1NP) blood test to make sure the timing is right. According to McCormick's book "Great Bones" you need active bone remodeling for Reclast to work. (One of my docs says to just do the Reclast at 6 months and no need to rely on CTX). Another resource is Dr. Ben Leder's video on youtube entitled "Combinations and Sequencing."
Too early and too late with the Reclast are both possibly a problem. Do you have an endocrinologist and did they suggest a timing?

@windyshores I have endo not thrilled with her never said anything about timing but I also didn't know that u have to have remodeling to it to be successful. How do you know if you have this or not or how much should the CTX reading be?. Should he be doing P1n1 to or is that the remodeling one. I think he was going to do alternate p1n1 but i dont know what it was. Whi h one is what and which ones are the remodeling g one. ? Im coming off evenity in 3 months on jan 20 last shot. . Blood test is scheduled for feb 3. Is that too late to test for remodeling? This is confusing what to do or what they should do and they dont tell me anything. I dont like blindly trusting without knowing everything I can.

Since I had my last Prolia shot six months ago and was due for one on Feb. 17, she said now was a perfect time to make the switch since six months have passed. She said to time it correctly, we should do the new Reclast infusion in the middle of March so I'm scheduled for March 13th.
