@goseve , Hi. The first two weeks on Forteo (brand) I was a little dizzy but no issues after that. The dizziness was not enough to disrupt my day. I was concerned with injecting myself everyday for 2 years and wondering how I'd do that. It became very easy like brushing my teeth (:->). I did gain a little in my abdomen but nothing I couldn't manage. Weight gain was 1-2 pounds. My abdomen went down within 2 weeks after stopping.

When you finish Forteo you need to follow with another med to lock in the gains. My endo recommended Reclast. I was very nervous with Reclast but finally agreed with my endo that this was the best follow on med for me. I had no issues with it. My endo did recommend hydrating well 2-3 days prior, during the infusion, and a few days after the infusion as well as tylenol day of infusion and 1-2 days after.

How did you finally get your gyn to agree to hrt?
