READ... seriously... for your sake.
HRT IS NOT 'cycled'. There's no such thing as coming off of HRT and doing 'PCT' unless it is for fertility reasons, or the patient's doctor has ruled that HRT is not necessary and the individual can lead a normal life without the exogeneous testosterone.
Nandrolone (Deca) IS NOT a part of legit AACE protocol. Nandrolone is produced in such little amounts naturally in the body that having a 'nandrolone' deficiency would be nearly impossible. Nandrolone is given to people who cannot hold a healthy body weight and are emaciated. In no world will nandrolone sufficiently REPLACE low testosterone levels (because it's NOT testosterone).
The aim of HRT (hormone REPLACEMENT therapy) is to administer exogeneous testosterone at levels that will get the patient in the upper quartile of 'normal' ranges. NOT to jack test levels up to supraphysiological. Bro's, which I'm sure have good intentions, are pouring into the HRT section and handing out 'cycling' advice to HRT patients. That is dangerous. If you are not familiar with HRT... don't take a 'stab in the dark' and offer up BAD advice... just don't respond if you don't know.
HRT patients are not looking for 'gains'. They are looking to get their life back... to have normal sexual function, and get the confidence and health back that was robbed from them by a malfunctioning endocrine system.
I'm a n00b here and I hate to sound 'preachy', but some of the advice I've seen given to HRT patients here is ridiculous. The aim should be to learn, inform, and guide people in the right direction for hormone replacement.
To the HRT patients... just like obtaining knowledge of AAS through research, you can find the answers to almost all of your questions at any number of HRT forums out there with stickies and FAQs. If the data is hard to understand... send me a PM or Headdoc at meso a PM (that guy is a genious, btw). Here are the forums I did my research on...

EDIT: If this offends anyone, I apologize. My passion for this subject is with reason; I suffered greatly from symptoms my endocrinologist said were "the worst symptoms [he's] ever heard of from testosterone deficiency". I wouldn't want to see a good bro suffer in likeness because he took bad advice.

It is not my intention to flame anyone, in this forum or on this site (not sure if that’s the right vernacular to use but I’ve seen the word flame used often on the net). Please excuse an old guy if I got it wrong. But my comment on this subject is one of simple semantics and not to start another argument or tell anyone they’re wrong. Therefore I’m not going to name any names. It just struck me that most of the rhetoric might just be involved in a misinterpretation of what this particular forum was meant to include or not to include, which is not be up to me to say either but most likely the responsibility of the moderators or originator of the forum. As you can see in the title of the forum, it is supposed to be about; Hormone Replacement Therapy, Longevity, Wellness, Anti-Aging, Alternative Medicine. HRT is one of five subjects in the title. I suppose “Longevity” may be related to HRT or maybe not; or “Wellness”, now that could cover a myriad of medicines/drugs, probably the entire PDR. “Longevity” could also include a lot of territory and Alternative Medicine could cover the whole gamut of medicines, both Rx and non Rx. Perhaps someone mistakenly thought that since Deca was not testosterone which technically is just partly true, (its actually it’s a progestin derived from either 19-nortestosterone or progesterone, a female hormone, another subject that probably belongs in a different forum), and that it didn’t belong in this forum. However as one can see, this forum has those other four subjects that by not so small a stretch might well be related to Deca, or even Aspirin, or Penicillin if one would think it to be relevant. Not sufficient though to argue about or get mad at anyone. Speaking for myself I’m not here to argue any point, just to find answers, advice or perhaps offer some of my "limited" knowledge. Cheers everyone! Be nice or someone might think you’re suffering from Roid Rage. :madd: LOL
