I see. Below is a chart for the percentage changes of P1NP and CTX during 12 month romosozumab (Evenity) treatment, data from its phase 3 study. It looks like the best time to see bone formation marker P1NP surge is during first two months, you might have missed it due to timing, although a concurrent HRT might affect bone markers response.

Curious, has your prescribing physician for HRT discussed various dosage forms for estradiol? Many obgyn prefers transdermal form nowadays due to the benefits of lower risk of blood clots (by bypassing liver’s first passing metabolism) and a more stable hormone level, among others. You might want to ask. From what I read, 1mg oral tablet is approximately equivalent to 0.05mg/day transdermal patches of estradiol.

Forgot to attach the graph, here it is:

My last prescription from my GYN was written on his last day before retirement so I’m still in search of another GYN. My PCP can cover the med portion, if I ask him about it. The only difficult part being is he believes the Estradiol is not beneficial for me, so I’m not sure he would be on board with prescribing any. But in my 25 yrs of being on HRT none my GYN’s or my ND (BHRT) talked about doing a cream. Food for thought though, thank you
