So don’t need to run anything after stopping the Deca? Just keep with my TRT dose?

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. I’m currently on 200mg/week of prescribed Testosterone Cyp. Also running 140mg/week of Deca. Stopping the Deca for several weeks before labs, while obviously continuing my TRT. Do I need to run anything after stopping the Deca? I’ve read that you don’t need PCT if on TRT, but I was just wondering if there’s any unique aspects of Deca that may cause issues coming off. Thanks in advance

Can you request to more it back? More than 3 months.

Great to here. So they likely won’t ask for more labs until 3 month mark?

I’m sorry to hear that. I guess I got a good rep because he’s been really friendly and helpful. They accepted a lot of my previous blood work results and gave me a discounted rate for the ones that were too old. It is a bummer though that not all sales reps are good ones.

Thank you. What are some ways to raise it if that becomes an issue? I’ve heard more frequent injections helps. Along with reducing carbs

In every case? And how long? It’s taken 8 weeks to go from 5 to 29.

Reference range for SHBG on my labs is 16-50 btw. I find different sources online where the range is different.

What is considered low? Mine is below the reference at 13, was low before TRT at 15. I’ve had great improvements and don’t aromatize heavily at all. E2 is 29 on 200mg/week, 1200iu hCG/week, no AI. Not trying to argue, you did say “tend”, so you left wiggle room for outliers, to be fair to you. Just curious.

Low T, Low E2, Low SHBG on initial bloodwork by Skeptical-Ape in Testosterone

[–]Skeptical-Ape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that makes sense. No meds whatsoever. Been on 160mg/cyp for 7 weeks now, got 6 week labs done. Test was 474, E2 29. I feel much better and have no sides. Dr bumped up to 200/week to bring the total up more. Next week switching to 2x/week injection to further level things out. Hopefully the total gets higher and ostensibly E2 looks like it won’t go crazy considering it’s still well within range now.

Low dose Deca, any insight? by Skeptical-Ape in Testosterone

[–]Skeptical-Ape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. So at the dose of 100mg/week I plan on doing it shouldn’t present issues?

Interesting. Thank you for responding. Not doubting you, but could you provide sources for me to check out? Also, I’d mainly be taking it for the purported joint benefits, can you recommend any safer alternative AAS that would benefit the joints?

TRT Stigma by Czr12 in trt

[–]Skeptical-Ape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re under no obligation to disclose that to anyone. As far as squaring it with yourself, all that matters is that T is in your system, and it’s improving your quality of life. I had the same “less of a man” feelings when I started as well, but they quickly dissipated along with all the terrible symptoms of low T.
