Prolia discontinuation

Well, ladies, I have begun my journey off of Prolia. After a really helpful consultation with Mayo in Rochester in January, and their reassurance that they have transitioned a variety of women off of Prolia, I decided to go on Alendronate for 3 months. My CTX before alendronate was at 145 at the 6 month and 16th day following the 5th injection of Prolia. In 3 months I will have another CTX. test. Based on that number my team will decide the next step. You all may be aware that Zoledronic acid requires a certain amount of bone turnover to be effective. My hope and prayer is that I am one of those who can tolerate the medications well and will have no more VFs. My decision was aided by being able to have a great discussion about the research I had studied along with their expert explanation about following this course of action for 3 month. Reclast can be administered after alendronate should my numbers significantly rise ( I am hoping not). As all of you know NONE of this is easy. I just finished my first month of Alendronate. I will keep you posted.

Thank you for posting an update about your situation and follow-up treatment decision after Prolia. A couple of questions:
1. Did you ever find out whether or not your spinal fractures occurred during Prolia treatment and did this information inform your consideration about how to proceed.
2. Was there any discussion about how high your CTX might rise (if it does increase) before Reclast should be considered?
