@hollygs not to intrude but I was wondering a few things after reading your post and it would help me since NTX is another way to test for anti-resorption.

Was that a urine NTX? Maybe it's something else because yours look like it is in the normal reference range.? What test did you have? What was the reference range?

Apparently it fluctuates and is not as reliable as the serum CTX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-terminal_telopeptide

I have read and experienced that Tymlos raises both P1NP and CTX so it would probably raise NTX, if that is what you had.

Hi @windyshores. Thank you, I appreciate your reply. This was a serum NTX. The reference range is 6.2 - 19.0. My previous result in 8/23 after Evenity was 4.8. I don't know if my current endo ordered a CTX, so I've messaged him. Hopefully he has ordered it or if not will do so if I request it. From what I've read, the serum NTX is not a reliable source to evaluate resorption, and my previous metabolic bone specialist didn't utilize it.
