A doctor might prescribe medication at any point after -1, depending upon other risk factors.
If there is a possibility of cancer metastasis to the bone, bisphosphonates are generally prescribed. And commonly if you are on long term ADT bisphsophonates or Prolia are prescribed.
If you were on short term ADT and have quit the, likelyhood is that you would wait for testosterone to restore bone.

Thanks. My readings were all around the -2.5 range, with a couple over -3 and none higher than -1.5. The reason the doctor is suggesting a bone building medication is that my testosterone started to come back (was in the 300s) but now is dropping again (in the 100s) instead of increasing and he thinks I may have testicular failure. I'm noticing all the old ADT symptoms starting to come back even though I haven't taken Orgovyx in 5 months. They're still not as bad as before except the mental ones but I think that's just me feeling crushed by yet another setback.
