@debbie1956 , I look forward to hearing your updates, bone markers or dexa! We used same dosage and form - E2 0.025mg/day patches and oral 100mg micronized progesterone at aroud similar time. My CTX at 6mo HRT was 163, which suggested "against active bone breakdown" per my endo, my dxa also indicated further bmd increase by a significant margin. It will be interesting to compare our results even though I transitioned from Forteo to HRT while you started from a drug-naive state. Fingers crossed.
