Tymlos side effects I've encountered

Thanks! I'm aware there is a 2 year limit. But I am afraid my doctor will tell me to get off it now, after just a few months. And there is no good option for me (I've been reading up on this the last couple of years).
Blood in urine is a possible side effect, I've read that in a couple of places. I'm just wondering if anybody else has had that and what was advised.
I believe the concern is kidney stones (which I've never had). Though blood in urine could be from bladder infection or something else. But I'm concerned.
I am going to try to get to an endocrinologist here who specializes in postmenopausal osteoporosis and hormone replacement therapy. I have to hope that perhaps the right HRT could be what I can use AFTER I do finish with Tymlos. She's not in my network, so I need special referral but I'm somewhat hopeful my primary care doctor will refer me to her. I just did not think I'd need a back-up plan so soon.
Thank you again. If anybody else can share blood in urine being an issue, I'd appreciate it. I do read a lot here. You are all helpful to each other.

@avidreader7 I took Tymlos for two years with great results. Because I have a great deal of dentistry that may have to be replaced at any time, the follow up medication was a bit of a challenge.
I finally settled on Boniva which I take once a month. I had tried two other medications in this class before and both made me extremely nauseated. For whatever reasons, I’ve been able to tolerate this medication and , if need be, I can stop for a few weeks then have a dental intervention. . Best of luck to you!
