Yes, it will cause some natural testosterone suppression. Total suppression? No, but probably somewhere in the 40% range, meaning approximately a total reduction in total test levels by 40%...maybe a little more. At your age, it would be possible for you to keep your test levels above a low level state...anything below 300ng/dl is normally considered low in most medical circles. However, I'm not a huge fan of that number, it's too general and doesn't take into account what might be the possible normal for each specific individual.
You should ask your doctor to check your test levels and to recheck them after 5-6wks of use. If a significant reduction in testosterone is found hopefully he'd be willing to prescribe you some type of testosterone. It doesn't sound like he will before hand but at least ask him to leave this option on the table for the future. There's no harm in asking.
