@mayblin Thanks for all that info. I had not seen that paper you gave the link to. And it led me to another paper I had also not seen. It's useful to see how you approach this kind of situation. I feel fairly confident with my current plan to go to twice monthly with "monthly" Risedronate. But I will keep up the monthly CTX testing to be sure it does work. Not clear yet how I'll get the prescriptions I'll need.
And finally your strong reduction in CTX with HRT is surprising to me and I guess very useful for you?
Wishing you the best in dealing with this bone business.

@awfultruth you are carring out a well thought out plan with adjustments according to your goals. I think this will keep any loss to a minimum!
My case with HRT might be an outlier. I was planning to titrate estradiol dose up depending on CTX readings, but it turned out to be unnecessary at the moment. With doubts and uncertainty, i did an early dxa (6mo after HRT) which showed further bmd gains. Endo thought the carryover of high p1np at end of Forteo (I had high turnover during Forteo) into early months of HRT probably helped.
Hope that your endo accommodates your rx needs accordingly. It's temporary in nature plus you may not need the extra pill(s) in the final month(s) as you get ready for the next round of evenity. Wish you the best as well.
