Forteo (teriparatide) followed by HRT: My Experience

How did you determine dosage of HRT? I've been on bio-identical HRT for many yrs, but never with bone health in mind...except for now. It causes me think that my dosage may need to be increased with a diagnosis of OP.

Great question! I’ll chime in with my thoughts but I’m also curious to hear how others figured out their dose.
For me, the main goal was to use estrogen’s antiresorptive effects for maintaining bone density after Forteo. My doctor kept an eye on bone resorption markers to make sure the dose was actually doing its job. I also requested an earlier DXA scan for assurance.
