Annie208, Are you planning to add HRT to your ongoing tymlos treatment, or to start HRT after the completion of tymlos? Since you didn't have a baseline btm prior to tymlos, it will be nice to get a serial btms (2-3mo, then 6mo) for tymlos to see how it is working for you. On average p1np responds greatest in early months of tymlos treatment (1-3mo) although individual variation exists. Adding HRT now will obscure btm results.

My HRT consists of a low dose estradiol (E2) patch and an oral gelcap of micronized progesterone (generic for Prometrium). Wi5h insurance i pay $20 for 3mo supply for either meds. One of the cardiologists whom I consultedwith advised me not to take testosterone. Maybe you could ask the inclusion of testosterone when you seek opinions from your obgyn and cardiologist.

Can you share his reasoning about not including testosterone. I ask because I understand that both testosterone and estradiol are helpful for bones. I started on all three about 4 months ago. Thanks
