Loss of BMD in hips after taking Forteo or teriparatide?

I just wanted to boost my femur neck and also "treat to target," meaning get all the scores as close to osteopenia as possible. I attended a masterclass offered by Lani Simpson, back in 2021, where a woman described her gains on Tymlos and her gains on Evenity after Tymlos. I didn't even realize that was not a protocol prescribed by my endos until I requested it. For now, in both practices I go to, I am the only patient doing this. My idea was to do just 3-4 months for a boost, then Reclast. I have since seen studies investigating that kind of use of Evenity, and hope it becomes mainstream in the future. For now, I am my own guinea pig- and my doctors'!

Today I read that femur neck only progresses 2.8% in the first 6 months and 7.5% if Evenity is done for the full 12 months. Surely this is from anti-resorptive action but the gain is much stronger than with Reclast (though values are extremely varied for Reclast among studies). So the idea of a boost over 3-4 months may mainly apply to the spine. Nevertheless studies are being done on Evenity for 6 months and Reclast for 6 months vs Evenity for 12 (followed by 12 months Reclast).
I saw 1) 6 months Evenity, 12 months Reclast, 6 months Evenity. 2) 6 months of each 3) 6 months Evenity, 12 months Reclast, 4) 12 months of each and 5) 6 months Evenity, 18 months on Reclast
