"We found that delayed denosumab dosing, even short-term delay of 30 to 90 days, was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident fracture for all clinical fractures as well as vertebral fractures in the following 6-month period. In addition, as the dosing time was further delayed, the risk increased even more. There did not appear to be a substantial influence on fracture risk if the administration was delayed within 30 days of the previous injection. This study further confirms that the timing of subsequent injection is critical in the management of osteoporosis for those treated with denosumab."

How long you can safely delay a scheduled Prolia injection should be thoroughly researched. Perhaps you could consult with your doctor or try to find some authoritative info. Best to look for research papers than rely on anything people say on social media sites.
I recall researching this issue when I was on Prolia and what I remember is that a delay of one month might not be a good idea, especially if you have been on it for a while. I no long have that research as I stopped Prolia almost 2 years ago. But the information is out there.
Good luck.
