I just wanted to comment on my endocrinologist appointment yesterday. I am 20 years past menopause. I was scared that I was going to get fired for going on bioidentical HRT against her recommendation. Of course, she recommended Evenity, Reclast or Prolia after my Forteo and half dose Tymlos. When I told her that I was taking 14mcg Menostar (estradial) with 40mcg Tymlos, she was OK. She said, "HRT that works. You just have to be careful about breast cancer and blood clots. Your DEXA is really good and your bone markers have improved".

@drsuefowler Please keep us posted on what you plan to use after completing Forteo/Tymlos. If you plan to continue with HRT, will it be the same dose?

@drsuefowler WOW! I am 62 years old, also nearly 20 years past menopause and never took HRT. Regretting that now but figured no chance of starting it at this late point--but perhaps i should reconsider? In Osteoporosis land I had TERRIBLE dexa last year so went on Evenity straight away and now having to decide between Reclast or Prolia.
