@mayblin Wow your CTX result looks fantastic! What was your number before you started the HRT and what are your before and after HRT dexa results? Your improvements are really encouraging! I assume you are remaining on the same dosage of HRT? My CTX was 670 in April of 2024, three months before I started HRT. I will have my next CTX results in 2 weeks, which I will post, and will be pleased if my numbers have come down. Thanks for sharing your results. Fingers crossed as you say.

CTX right before HRT was 793, bearing in mind that I was treated with Forteo and had a high turnover rate because of the treatment. With CTX at a low of 163 currently, I definitely will stick with the current dose. After 6mo HRT, Lspine bmd had a further 8.7% increase, right hip +4%, left hip stable, femur necks 5-6% increase. Prior treatment with Forteo probably was a big factor in the continued bmd improvements. I had an early DXA done for a confirmation that the low dose is adequate.
I'm sure you will see a good downturn in CTX, which is what estrogen is supposed to do. It will be interesting to see how yours results turn out.
