P1NP number on Tymlos

Posted by marymj7 @marymj7, Jan 1, 2024

After 3 months on Tymlos, my P1NP bone marker has increased by 50% to 109. I was initially excited, but am wondering if this is excessive. Anyone else had numbers like this?

@willowmena I was 66. When I have my dexa in june I will have been on HRT’s for 1 year so I’m very curious to see my results.

@lurawilson Thank you for your reply. I am asking my gyn about HRT, and my endocrinologist for testosterone cream (previously gave to me but side effects were unpleasant, before I knew I had osteoporosis). I will try it again if I can take the 2 together, along with my Tymlos and vitamins. Can no longer do weight resistance exercise due to my various back/neck injuries and too much pain. I am at the point of investigating all viable alternatives!

@willowmena I hope you can start HRT and respond well to the Tymlos. I will report back in June with my DEXA and bone markers results 🤞
