anyone had endo suggest taking Yorvipath after tymlos?

My remaining parathroids work, but not enough to keep my Calcium within normal without some help My endo has not yet discussed any antiresorptives after I finish the Tymlos, I'm guessing that the Yorvipath would be in addition . I didn't ask that question because I was thrown off when I heard MORE SHOTS after Tymlos. ug. and ug.
My first P1NP was 715 ng/ml
6 months later P1NP is 250 mcg/ml
CTX is 1213 pg/ml
frustrating to have them all measured in different units.. converting 250 mcg /ml =250000ng/ml so my P1NP went up.
Im planning on fosamax because I have problems with my teeth. Just came back from having a CT of a tooth. lost a lot of bone around it and need it pulled.

The units for P1NP from your two labs are inconsistent which might be a problem. My P1NP from Quest uses mcg/L, which is the same as ng/ml. The reference range is 22-104 mcg/L for women 29-45 and 30-110 mcg/L for men under 60. Your second P1NP 250mcg/ml (=250,000ng/ml as you pointed out) is a HUGE number - not possible!? I say this because when one of mine P1NP came back high in the 400s during Forteo treatment, my endo ordered additional labs to rule out other causes.
Was your P1NP 715 ng/ml before or after Tymlos treatment?
It's good that your remaining parathyroids are working! Might it be that your endo is considering Yorvipath, a new drug for your slight hypoparathyroidism after tymlos? You could be among the first to use it.
