Important question about deca

**Bigpete757** · 05-06-2009, 10:36 AM

I did a deca /d bol cycle about six years ago and are afraid that it is related to recent problems with test that I have been having. During the past few years and mostly just in the past few months, I was having terrible side effects of low test and recently just got a blood test done confirming that I do indeed have low test. I know that deca really shuts down your natural test production, but do you think that it could have kept my natural levels low for all these years after taking it or should of my natural levels returned to a normal level once I was done with cycle. I feel that my natural levels of test were decreased and never really returned to normal based on how I felt and side effects I was going through. However, I cannot find too much research on this subject, hence me asking the question. I did also take a few test precursors like you would buy at gnc while growing up but not for long periods of time. Maybe 3 or 4 months then I would stop for awhile. I am about to be 26 years old and are happy I figured out what was wrong, but are disappointed that what I took years ago may have been negatively affecting me for years and made life more difficult. I would appreciate anyone's input on my situation because it really means alot to maybe find out why I would have low test at 25 years old. Also, if anyone could point me in the right direction of links with information or people who know alot about this subject that would great. Thank you.

Your current problems could definitely be from what you did 6 years ago.

I hope all the kids who say I did a deca dbol cycle last year and I'm fine read this.

Did you run any REAL PCT compounds at all?

I don't think running them now would really help if that cycle screwed up your HPTA as we warn everyone that doing this can have this effect without proper PCT

I didn't do any PCT after the cycle, which was a bad decision on my part, but so was doing the cycle in my opinion. My doc put me on compounded test cream to raise the low test levels in my body so hopefully that will help. As I research more and more about negative side effects of deca and especially deca only cycles, I am very concerned. I have read a few horror stories of it affecting people permanently and I hope that will not happen to me. I only did one 10ml bottle so I didn't think I would have too many sides while I was on it, much less six years after I was done, but I have to deal with it. What would you suggest I do to help my situation. I didn't tell the doc about taking deca, but think I might. Would this be smart and are there docs that have alot of knowledge about helping people with steriod issues. I know there is an endo specialist, but is there someone else? I having been going through a rough period in my life due to this problem and are happy that I figured out what was wrong, but now I need to try and fix it the best I can so I live a normal life and have healthy hormone levels in my body.
