Why is DECA is SUPPRESSIVE ????

[Madball99]

What is it about Deca ? About a year and 1/2 ago I did a 3 month DECA cycle in order to help repair a massive pec tear. Before that single cycle I have NEVER tried any AAS or even had any interest in it.........It did the trick (healed my injury FAST), but it destroyed my previously high libido. I had test levels of 108 and NO SEXUAL INTEREST AT ALL.




Well it's been over a year, but I stil have ZERO libido and weak erections. My test levels are @ 364 (better, but still LOW for a 32 year old) a full year and a 1/2 after my short Deca cycle I have VERY low LH (1.7) and FSH levels (1.0) to this day.


Why haven't I recovered ? My Endo says my testicles work, but for some reson my brain is not picking up on the fact that I need more LH. Why is my LH so low ? Is it something about the Deca, or could something else be causing this ?

The question is why do it's effects linger for several months to 2 years......What is that ?


Does it affect receptors permanantly ?



Is it really stored in fat for 2 years in such high concentrations for as to cause HPTA shutdown ?




Should I try to get to a much lower body fat in an attempt to cleanse the body ? Cardio ?

If you use deca without testosterone it is horrible like that. You can't do that. And what was your PCT like? How old are you?

Nandrolone Decanoate can still be found in your system as much as 8months to a year after last injection of Nandrolone Decanoate. That is why it is not a good "performance enhancing" drug for athletes.

I would definitely suggest you consider Mesterolone for your possible recovery. You are getting your hormone levels checked but have you considered seeing an endocrinologist for possible recovery?

I would definitely do that before considering an pct cycle of clomid/mesterolone/HMG.

Deca typically stays in the system for up to 18 months.( from the research i have read on it )
good gear has also has bad side effects unless you know how to combat them or that is my belief.

Since it stays in for around 18 months in your system that is probably why you are now seeing your Test level back up. I am not expert on AAS but that is from me doing research. sounds like a mental blockage you should take these guys advise and run with it is some of best around. i hope this helps.

I know I am only 24 but I did a deca only cycle for 12 weeks, I had a lower sex drive towards then of the cycle. I did HCG for 10 days 2 weeks after I got off the cycle and things are finally back to normal.

How much did you take per week?
Did you stack it with anything?
What kind of research did you do on the Deca before you took it?
Who suggested that you take it?

you could try running clomid and nolva now ....also prim-performance has a new pct product out that is gainin a good reputation for increased sex drive and pct....

[Madball99]

What's the name of the product ?

[litterbox]

Clomiphone Citrate therapy would be wise to do right now. Try 100mg every day for 2 weeks and see where you're at then another two weeks at 50mg a day.

[jsupstarz]

Nolva all day.

[novicebb]

I also agree with ASAP protocol of Mesterolone/Clomid/HMG or HCG.

Ok, one of the reasons you run Test with deca is for sexual "happenis" during the cycle.

But does running test with deca also help your body stay less suppressive than a deca only cycle so after the cycle it's easier pct to get back to normal testosterone and hormone production and levels?

I guess I'm wondering what all the reasons are to have more test than deca in the cycle rather than equal amounts of deca and test. I'm preloaded deca 600 mg wk for 2 weeks and am about to drop deca down but don't know the benefits of dropping the deca to lets say 300 mg week while maintaining 400mg week test rather than only dropping deca to 400 mg week.

I'm 46 and concerned with what I do now to make getting back to normal hormones best.
