Forteo (teriparatide) followed by HRT: My Experience

These look like great results. I am 57 and have always been fairly active. Broke both my wrists with in one year. One snowboarding and one playing pickleball!
After DEXA scan I do have osteoporosis in L3-L4. Left hip osteopenia levels.
Just started HRT and Forteo.
Did you take both at the same time? I am only a week into Forteo and a month into HRT.
Did you find you were nauseated at all when you first started Forteo?

I didn't take Forteo and HRT concurrently. I completed Forteo first and then transitioned to HRT. My bone marker labs showed that the full antiresorptive effect of HRT (estradiol patches in my case) was reached around 6-8mo after starting HRT.
The only side effect that I've experienced with Forteo was fatigue during first 5-6wks, mainly due to lowered blood pressure, which was mitigated by increasing fluid (salted at times) intake.
Are you planning Forteo + HRT for the full course of Forteo treatment? Please keep us updated!
