Forteo (teriparatide) followed by HRT: My Experience

@mayblin Wow! I really needed to see this! Great numbers and improvement. I'm 5 mos to the end of my second year on Tymlos and just started on BHRT. At 65 my beginning Dexa was -3.6 in the spine and -3.1 after one year on Tymlos. I just added the BHRT 3 weeks ago. So hopeful that Tymlos shows more positive gains next Feb when I have my second Dexa and that the BHRT will also add to and keep those gains going. I was older than you when all of this started and also 18 years post menopause....so that may play a factor in how effective the BHRT is. I think starting when you did, only 11 years post (close to the 10 year/age 60 magic numbers), that may be helping you!! Cheers to you!

@psmnonna I'd like to do that as well. What kind of MD started you on BHRT?
Thank you!

@psmnonna, You’ve already seen good gains from your first year on Tymlos, and sometimes the second year on a PTH analog brings even more noticeable improvements - hopefully that happens for you too!
Adding HRT to Tymlos is a big step, and I’ll be curious to see your February DXA. As you’ve pointed out, timing of HRT may play a role, but responses can vary widely in reality. Please keep us updated - many of us can learn from your experience and better appreciate the role of estrogen.
