@teb Hi Teb. Thank you so much for answering my question. I am so afraid of taking Fosamax bc I have needed dental implants in the past and I might need two more in the future and I cannot have the implants if I have taken Fosamax. So, after your treatment with Forteo, you just took HRT? I am on a .075 transdermal estrogen patch, do you think that will hold my gains when I finish my Forteo. These drs are saying it will not but I don't think they know much about. Oh, one last question. I have read horror stories about the side effects of Forteo. Can I ask you if you had bad side effects from Forteo? I cant thank you enough for all of your help and wish you the best of health!
