Thanks I appreciate your input. I never had a baseline BTM or CRX.
I am starting Fosamax on Saturday how soon should I have a CRX?

Ideally, you should do a CTX before starting Fosamax to set a base for comparison and to check that Fosamax is working.

The usual advice then is to repeat the CTX every 3 months but i have read of others doing it even more frequently, like every 6 weeks especially in the early stage of the transition. If that seems too onerous, maybe, as a suggestion, the first CTX after starting Fosamax could be earlier, say 2 months and then, depending on the result, you could schedule the next CTX accordingly
