Weight Gain with Evenity

I'm 67 and I've put on about 7 pounds during my last six shots. Now, I've finished my shots and have just gotten my new Dexa results.
My hips are virtually unchanged, having gone from -3.8 to -3.6.
My spine improvement was better, from -4.8 to -4.3.
So, I'm still in a bad place and know my endo will tell me I must do Reclast or Forteo or some such, which I had hoped to avoid.
I was quite lucky to have only minor side effects to Evenity. Would I be as lucky with these other drugs?
With these new figures, my FRAX risk is: spine 22% and hip 5%. So that's 78% chance of not fracturing, and 95% of not fracturing.
I am back on my bioidentical hormones now. Can I hope that will be enough to help me?
All thoughts welcome, with my thanks in advance.

@callmekate
Me too…I’ve been 112lbs or so all my adult life. I’ve gained 7-8 lbs now after 9 months Tymlos.
How long were you on Evenity? The 12 months?

@callmekate Have you tried Tymlos or Forteo? Tymlos, especially, is supposed to give good results for the spine.
