Is Anyone Else Tracking Your P1NP to CTX Ratio, While Taking Tymlos?

@njx58 Fantastic!! Thank you for sharing. Happy to see your wife's results are right in line with mine! I was a little worried, because I have had to reduce my dose, due to side effects, for three of the 6 weeks I've been on Tymlos. Best wishes!!

@cathyf31 I will add my numbers to this as it is interesting to compare.
P1NP 22 mcg/L
CTX 108 pg/mL EZ
Ratio = 203.7 🙂
History: T-scores in the -2.x range. 18 months of alendronate (aka Fosamax) followed by 6 months of HRT. Doing LIFTMOR type weight lifting and impact exercises for about 4-6 months. Low supplement of MK4 and MK7 until these tests.
My recollection is that in another video Dr. Doug Lucas mentions in passing that he is less confident of his rule-of-thumb ratio when BTM numbers are quite low, as mine are. But I did not keep a record of which video that was, so cannot provide a link. I am hoping that as the alendronate wears off that my bone turnover will go up. Thanks to @mayblin for comments on a private message while I was still doing some research.
