Anyone had experience with deca getting TT bloods? I’m asking cuz I don’t know whether deca screwed up my reading or not, I got 1110ng/dl on through day on 200mg test c sometime ago, but I was off deca for 6 weeks at that time… so about 200mg test and 40-50mg deca were in my system assuming by deca half life calculation.
Everywhere I read it seems mixed…
I’m trying to dial in my TE dose to get optimal testosterone levels without needing an AI, so I can use more tissue selective compounds. Not really a trt more like cruise.
Btw bw method was standard (most common one) not lc/ms.
Maybe you’ve taken bloods on deca? Would be cool to have some reference. It seems reasonable to me too but the fact that deca was still in me somewhat as 6 weeks ain’t enough for deca to leave that’s what I’m trying to figure out as I can’t do bw again cuz I have lowered my T dose and currently waiting for it to stabilize… sometimes I hate myself for being impatient lol but with age it got a bit better.
Six weeks should clear a lot of the deca, most clears in 21 days. I think TT at 1110 on 200mg/wk is pretty accurate. It is close to where mine was when I was at that dose, mine was actually higher with no deca. I’m closer to 800 on 150 mg/wk.
When on TRT I do three times per week, MWF. I don’t typically do an AI then. I don’t feel a ton of estrogen sides even though mine can get high. On blast I take .125mg anastrozole 1 - 2 wk, helps with sleep. I do HCG, mostly for testicular volume and I feel good with HCG added to my TRT.
Awesome, just one more thing you’re on 150/week? When you did bloods your TT reading of ~800 what day of the week was it? I assume it’s before the injection at your trhough/lowest point?
I’m very interested as my injection schedule is the same
I do my injection Monday evening, skip Wednesday dose, bloods on Thursday. I then take my Wednesday dose Thursday and pop back in on Friday. It would be better to do bloods Friday with last injection Monday, this is just the way I’ve been doing it though.
Deca and tren sometimes is faked as test.
I used to do 800mgs of tren, which never rised my prolactin and nuked my e2 skyhigh - turned out, 90% of it was just more test.
So if your test is higher cause of deca, your deca is probably test
I see this happening… not in my case though, as I’m not aas noob and know exactly by feel those exact compounds, especially the test cuz I’ve ran it as high as 1000mg and as low as 125mg. Plus deca bloated me like I could never ever imagine on 300mg and almost ended with gyno lol, no test or dbol ever got me close to gyno… deca I just feel girly on it idk lol, but it makes me feel this way and also the joint effect and like I said huge water retention
Yes it screwed up my reading. Had not had any deca for 8 weeks. on 100mg’s test cyp weekly. did not inject for 5 days before labs. still came back out of range over 1500.
Yes, you’re right. But I’m wondering if deca had anything to do with my reading as 6 weeks passed after I dropped it… I just can’t do bloods now since my new T dose is still stabilizing…
7/8 result, I injected to close to labs, it was my first time, didn’t understand needing to wait.
Used Deca (100mg per week) from day after Sept labs to week before Nov labs not understanding it wouldn’t clear and would throw the numbers off. Still messing up numbers at Jan labs.
