@windyshores I couldn't recall the exact source(s) I found, but in order to answer your question, I just googled "why does tymlos raise ctx and lower ntx" and the first thing that popped up is an AI overview that also contains several links. It's excellent! It's not possible to link it, so let me know if you have access. If not, I can copy the main text and send you the referenced links. I bet if you pose your question here, you'll get some interesting responses.

@hollygs well thanks to you I learned something. This question about CTX and NTX is quite complicated. They do move in the same direction, from what I can understand, but the NYX increase is transient(up for 24 hours) and followed by a decrease (14 days). This linked study also says CTX moves "in the same direction." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3536955/
Over the years I have always read that Forteo and Tymlos raise CTX and P1NP. Apparently that is an oversimplification.
There isn't a whole lot on NTX using my browser!
I am going to ask my doctor about this. This info if reliable seems very important since we are looking at guidance from bone markers. This may be one reason my doctor doesn't use them and said that an entire conference could focus on them. Chances are the timeline for increase and decrease varies from individual to individual too, along with all the other factors that we know influence CTX.
