Thank you @gretch19!

After initiating evenity, the P1NP is said to have a peak value at week 2, and return close to baseline after 3 mo when compared to placebo group (no drug treatment). So you might not catch the P1NP increase.

This drug is power in promoting bone growth. Sometimes a doctor would like to use bone markers to monitor preliminary response. If for some reason there are timing or test reliability issues, the Dexa scan will be the gold standard for the “judgement” at the end of treatment. So we all need to be patient and wait for the Dexa results.

All the best!

You said "sometimes a dr wold like to use bone markers to monitor preliminary response". I thought all drs would do bone markers before starting any treatment. But an endocrinologist I saw recently suggested either Evenity or Fosamax for me and said she wouldn't do any bone markers before treatment because they "would all be normal", which I don't understand.
