Okay my friends 2 questions i hope you can help me with.
Currently running 250 mg test (sustanon 250)+ 200mgs deca a wk.
1. What if any will the deca influence my impending annual HRT blood test.
2.Why when i dropped my test to 250mgs a wk then added deca has my libido increased dramatically.(Into my eleventh wk now and not subsiding) not complaining but just amazed at the increase in sex drive.

Not sure if ive posted in the correct forum, apologies if i havent.

sounds like you might have had elevated estrogen due to the increased test aromatization. have you been taking any ai's?

No none at all, spent the last year fluctuating between 500-750mgs test only, and libido a bit hit and miss and when i dropped to 250mgs a wk again here nor there, but as soon (well 2 wks min ) i added the deca my libido increased which is one of the reasons ive avoided deca in the past because of the associated sex drive issues.

In my country Sustanon (aka Durateston) is famous for its intense sex drive adaptations, and I don't have any doubt about it, it's just amazing.

Is it your first time on Sustanon 250?

deca is fine as long as you take some test with it. Yo uare taking plenty for a good sex drive and with the reduced aromatization your estrogen leves have dropped, i think the deca was just coincidental to dropping levels of estrogen. Next time you go up that high grab some arimidex.

Too bad, it's precribed every 2 weeks down here.

In Brazil, Urologists prescribe sustanon at 250 mg every 15 days.

In the US, guys like Swale prescribe UpJohn Test Cypionate at about 100 mg per week.

As for shooting once a week, some people thinks so, but I'm not sure yet, every 2 weeks is working fine with me.

Before TRT my hormone levels were low, total test was about 290 ng/dl (reference range: 300-1000 ng/dl). Now total test is about 550 ng/dl and I feel like a new man!

I'm taking Sustanon 250 mg every 15 days, but I'm about to start Nebido at 1000 mg/4mL every 2 to 3 months.

no problems when it comes to within a few days of your next shot? do not feel draggy, no desire, no morning wood? A lot of the guys on some other forums including swales take HCG for the couple days prior to their next shot.

No, not really JB. Funny thing, my sex drive goes up from day 7 or 8 on. I may feel a little bit tired on days 13 (Friday) and 14 (Saturday).

Yeah, HCG seems a good idea, I might use it in the near future on days 13 and 14 (as per Swale protocol a little adapted to my condition), what do you think my friends?

it would be nice if headdoc would chime in. he is a master at fine tuning. if it were me, i would do 300iu thurs and 300 on sat.

I have been hearing bad things about unhappy people on nebido. i would definitely have some hcg on hand before i started.

Indeed.

Is there a specific reason to use it on thurs and on sat, and not on Friday and Saturday since I shot test on Monday? And why 300 IU instead of 250 UI as per Swale methodology?

Now you scared me. What's going on regarding Nebido every 2 to 3 months?
