Forteo or Evenity - which to take?

I have been researching all of these options before my follow up visit with Endocrinologist in 10 days. She wants me to start Evenity for 1 year and then to Prolia. I do not want to do Prolia, because once you start, you can't stop.
The osteoporosis in my spine is -3.1 and I have never had any fractures in my life. Just turned 70 last week and I am very active, also joined a gym (2 months ago) which I go to 2-3 times per week.
All of your posts have been very informative and I am hoping to come up with an option that I can live with and that my insurance will cover. Fingers crossed!

I must decide by October 4 when I'm scheduled for the first Evenity infusion. I will ask what is the follow up medicine after the year of Evenity.

Good evening @artisan3 ......I couldn't help but pop in with another suggestion. After two years of Tymlos injections, my endocrinologist recommended Alendronate....aka Fosamax. I simply take one pill every Monday morning. Give it 30 minutes before you start moving about and having breakfast.
This all took place after a year of Prolia which had unacceptable side effects and a door that appeared to close forever.
May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
