Deca raise test levels???

[mikeysauce]

Would deca cause a raise in testosterone levels?

[w_rballs]

no, it will cause a decrease

[mikeysauce]

so if i was being blood tested by an endocrinolgoist and one of the levels they looked at is testosterone...that level shouldnt be abnormal by just taking deca or your saying it would be lower then normal?

[w_rballs]

are u taking deca alone?

[mikeysauce]

the first cycle i ever did was a deca only cycle but this cycle isn't for me...one of my friends who wants to use gear but wont use testosterone...he was wondering and i wasn't sure what to tell him

[w_rballs]

no it wont raise test levels. by running deca alone it will shut down his natural production of test and his levels will drop. the endo will prob see a rise in certain hormone levels. im guess prolactin.

why wont he use test? rule of thumb here is no test=no cycle

[mikeysauce]

o i c...i dunno i told him that too...that deca shuts u down and that all cycles should always have test...but he sees an endocrinolgist every other month because he has thyroid problems

[longhorn814]

tell him if he doesnt use test, he wont be able to get it up for a long time since he wont have any test in his body!

I thought your body shuts natural test production down due to the fact, one is puting testosterone in their body and the testes do not need to produce it on their own anymore; therefore natural test production is not necesary. So i was just wondering what the reason is for natural test to shut down if it does not have anything to do with what i stated above?

This mayt give you more of an understanding of what Deca does and how it works:
