Forteo (teriparatide) followed by HRT: My Experience

maybin: Great post. I mentioned a nearly identical protocol for the treatment of osteoporosis but it was embedded in another post. I took forteo for 2 years, with great results as well, and followed with the .025 estrogen patch. (I had a hysterectomy so didn't need the progesterone.) The estrogen patch resulted in me keeping the gains I had made on forteo.

@mkoch, I must have missed your post earlier! Thanks so much for sharing - your experience sounds very similar, almost identical 🙂
If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be curious to know what tools you’re using to monitor your progress. Do you track bone turnover markers in addition to DXA? I’m also very interested in your longer-term plan, especially whether you and your doctor have considered cycling back to an anabolic in the future if the need arises. Thank you!
@mkoch
May I ask how old u r as I’m 78 and my Dr said I’m too old for hormones

@mkoch, I am in a similar situation to you, but I am still on a half a dose of Tymlos with my estrogen patch. I also have had a hysterectomy, but I still have my ovaries and cervix. My functional physicians want me to take progesterone and my pharmacist also suggested it. Has any medical person wanted you to take progesterone even though you have had a hysterectomy? I have had issues with the progesterone capsule and cream. I feel fine on just the estrogen. Thanks for posting. It is very encouraging that the estrogen helped you keep your gains.
