Starting FORTEO tomorrow and so nervous.

I have just recently started hormone therapy using Estradiol and Estriol and Progrsterone.. I will add Testosterone. My doctors have told me only a tiny dose of hormones is needed. If I decide to start Tymlos, Forteo’s cousin, I will stay on the hormones during and afterwards, likely for life.

Interesting! I read that estriol is the form that women got during pregnancy, so generally it's not really used for menopausal related issue. Does your physician use it for some particular reason?

May I ask if you are 10 year out from menopausal? If so, what did your doc think about initiating therapy this late in post menopausal? Did your doc use CTX to monitor HRT therapy?

Do you mind sharing the reason of adding testosterone into the HRT mix?

Thanks a lot!
