Anyone use HRT as their immediate follow-up to Tymlos or Forteo?

@psmnonna This is very interesting. I’m going to finish my Tymlos in July and my Rheumatologist has been pushing Prolia which I refuse to go on, I’m just not comfortable with it. I’ve made excellent gains so far with Tymlos but am really not thrilled to go on another drug. I’m 66 and have no other health issues and do regular strength training. My Dr. never suggested HRT to me I’m wondering if I should see an Endocrinologist for a 2nd opinion. I’m wondering if HRT therapy might be an option for me when I stop Tymlos to keep my gains. Has anyone else gone to HRT alone after Tymlos?

@margaretk
It is certainly worth a discussion with your endo or a gynecologist. I am not a fan of Prolia or any of the bisphosphonates and I'm going to resist them as long as I can.
I have never been on HRT but I am researching now to see if it would be a fit
With endocrinologist #1, all she offered me was Tymlos and I wouldn't do it, I am waiting for a 2nd opnion, my appointment isn't until Oct, and researching whether I can go on HRT at the age of 68 for bone density, while doing other things like weight training, exercise, algae calicium supplements

I had transitioned to HRT right after Forteo with no other meds, read my story here:
