I was interested in your results. Your path seems similar to mine. I am on Evenity now (DEXA scheduled for NOV). I plan to start Reclast next year. I was curious as to what you said about your doctor expecting only 1-2 infusions. Does that mean no treatment at all after 1-2. infusions of Reclast? Thank you for your input.

I will add to this conversation. My T score in my spine was -4.6 and hip -2.1 when I started my journey. I did one year of Evenity then had another DEXA. My T score in my spine was -3.3 and hip -1.3. My endocrinologist wanted me to gain more bone density so I am now on Prolia I have had 2 injections and will have another DEXA on Monday. Depending on the score I will do 2 more injections of Prolia or go straight to reclast.
The rebound from Prolia maybe none do to the short amount of time I have been on it.

@deborahla Sorry, I wrote a whole reply...but it disappeared!
Yesterday, I received the Reclast infusion, just the thought of it made me sick to my stomach (I am very hesitant about drugs!) The nurses at the infusion center were wonderful! The whole process took about an hour...nothing was painful!
Now to your question. My doctor believes that I will only need this 1 Reclast infusion. It will be followed by CTX BLOOD TEST....BTW, I had asked about this test (if you have done as much reading as I have...you know about CTX😁) before I started the Evenity but it was not part of the protocol at that stage.
Depending on the results of the CTX, I may need another infusion. It appears, as far as I can discern, that the blood test will be used to monitor my progress.
God bless your journey!
