Test+Deca level fluctuations?

41y/o,6-2, 280lbs. I’m currently taking 200mg Test C weekly (3 injections per week). I am interested in adding 50-100mg Deca a week to help with joint issues and anti-inflammatory effects. I have no interest in using more than that or blast a cycle. My question is I have heard varying statements that Deca will increase your test levels on your blood test, but can’t find a definitive answer. I have my next draw in February and wondering if I can start or if I should wait until after the blood work is done. Thanks!

Deca will show as very high test on bloodwork.
As far as the other reasons you want to use deca you may want to research a bit more. Deca is not anti inflammatory. All AAS actually cause inflammation in the body. It also does nothing for joint issues accept mask any issues you are currently having.

I believe it very much depends on the type of test given.
The LC/MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) would pick up the nandronlone as extra testosterone in the lab and show accordingly.
Whereas the Immunoassay-Based Testosterone Blood Test. The addition of nandrolone would not show up as testosterone.

LC/MS/MS Total Testosterone Blood Test

  • Collection Method: The LC/MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) total testosterone test requires a blood sample typically collected from a vein in the arm.

- Advantages:

  • High Accuracy: LC/MS/MS is considered a highly accurate method for measuring total testosterone levels.

  • No Upper or Lower Limit: Unlike the immunoassay testosterone test, the LC/MS testosterone test is accurate at very low or very hight testosterone blood levels.

  • Widely Accepted: LC/MS/MS is a commonly used method in clinical settings for testosterone testing.

  • No interference by supplements like biotin.

  • You can buy the LC/MS testosterone test on DiscountedLabs.com

- Disadvantages:

  • Requires a Blood Draw: Some individuals may find the process of having blood drawn uncomfortable or inconvenient.

  • Laboratory Processing Time: Results from LC/MS/MS tests may take longer to obtain compared to rapid tests.

Immunoassay-Based Testosterone Blood Test

  • Collection Method: Immunoassay-based testosterone tests also require a blood sample, typically collected from a vein in the arm.

  • Advantages:

  • Rapid Results: Immunoassay-based tests can provide relatively quick results.

  • Cost-Effective: Immunoassay-based tests are generally more cost-effective compared to LC/MS/MS tests

. - Disadvantages:

  • Potential for Interference: Immunoassay-based tests may be susceptible to interference from certain substances or conditions, potentially affecting accuracy.

  • Lower Sensitivity: Immunoassay-based tests may have lower sensitivity compared to LC/MS/MS tests.

It is important to note that the choice of testosterone test should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional. They can guide you in selecting the most appropriate test based on your specific needs, medical history, and the accuracy and reliability of the available testing methods.
