Hi @dooshie thank you for sharing your experiences and your inquiry. Yes, I went from Forteo directly to HRT (without testosterone). Coincidentally like you, I started HRT last July. Looks like it has held my bmd so far (per Jan 2025 DXA scan) and helped gaining more.
Looking forward to hearing your dexa results. It will be nice to get bone marker labs done to see if they correspond to dexa results.

@mayblin…my rheumatologist is not happy with me and insists I need Evenity, and I may at some point, but my integrative gynecologist feels differently and said I could try hormones for at least 6 months in hopes that my bones remain where they were when I completed that protocol. My numbers were very severe (-4.7 spine, -3.8 hips) so pretty severe, but Tymlos for 2 years gave me a 15% improvement in my spine and 5% in my hips, so I’m praying not being on a bone building med after Tymlos doesn’t take me back to those horrible numbers. Time will tell.
I’m really active (pickleball, hiking, weights, bone loading) so one slip up could be a problem. So far, I’ve been good.
Keep me posted on ur progress and once I revisit my doc and have my next DEXA, I’ll report back.
Have a great Sunday! Rose 🌹
