It stops natural test, seeing how you've been on TRT for 2 years your natty test is already fully suppressed so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Are you having joint issues?

my joints snap,crackle and pop alot.
plus I'm getting back in to mma and i read deca helps keep muscles limber.

doc only prescribed 125mg but im doing 200mg (1 week vial holds 200-260mg).
at 125mg
total t 790ng (350-1030)
percent free 1.8% (1.5-3.2)
free serum 142pg (52-280)
shbg 61nmol/L (20-60)
Will deca change my shbg its all ready on high side?
I just don't want to lose this doc. I have him right were i want him.I'm happy at 200mg w.
ill lower my dose from 200 back to 125 1 month before blood test.

i think iron answered your question...

but i noticed your total t was fairly high for most TRT patients when starting...that is your starting level, correct? are you planning a pct to restore your natty levels or are you going to run this as a TRT?

i cant remember the compound that will lower your shbg....maybe someone will chime in...there was a post recently that mentioned it but i forgot, sorry....maybe do a search...looks like that would help free up some of youir test as your free test looked a bit low

good luck bro

that was test level on 125mg. doc gives me 1 200mg vial perweek. so i do it all,he thinks i throw away the left over. NOT!

And i in this for the long run... no pct
