After much research and interacting with others I decided to use Strontium Citrate. As well as started BHRT.

I know my DEXA would be skewed, but Im also getting a TBS score with my upcoming DEXA, which should be helpful.
Osteoporosis meds purpose is to prevent fractures, Strontium Citrate can do the same without some of those serious side effects the osteoporosis meds can have.

Here is a study on Strontium Citrate
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3265100/
My decison was also based on how to manage osteoporosis long term for my age. It did not seem feasible to use the osteoporosis meds for 20 plus years and not have side effects.

@oknowwhatpixie
I am on BHRT these last few months and when I finish my Evenity shots (4 to go) plan to skip those other osteo drugs, too. I'll be looking into strontium, even though it skews dexa results, because, honestly, isn't that what fosamax, etc., do , making us hold on to brittle old bone just so our bones appear denser? Good luck to you?
