Deca Durabolin

[Rhea Nicole]

Hi, I am a Male to Female Transsexual, I am 3 years on Female hormone Estrogen, I just recently purchased Deca Durabolin and not for the normal reasons, I have no intention on working out, I was actually quite curious to try using 100mg injections every 2 weeks for 10 weeks combined with Estrogen, I'm interested in the effect I have read that it will lower natural Testosterone production to zero, does anyone think this would actually work or would it produce undesirable masculization effects even though I am taking estrogen? And also if it does work and lowers Testosterone to zero is this permanent or will i have to take it continually to keep it at zero?

Deca is not very androgenic so it shouldn't produce masculine traits, and it will stop your bodies natural production of Testosterone , with that said....it still sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Your body will return to producing test after use has stopped, and you cannot stay on it forever. The amount of damage you can end up doing to yourself, and the potential for extreme hormone imbalance makes the whole thing sound like a terrible idea to me, I am sure their are guys on this forum who can give you way more detailed explanations then I just did.

Well, what are your test levels currently? They should already be very low, since high levels of estrogen are highly suppressive to the HPTA. The male body cannot synthesize estrogen on its own, but relies entirely on the aromatase enzyme to convert androgens to estrogens. The HPTA's negative feedback mechanism increases test production in the presence of inadequate estrogen (which is why AIs boost test), and decreases test production in the presence of excess estrogen (which is where much of the suppression from aromatising steroids (or synthetic estrogen supplementation in your case) comes from).
