On TRT Thinking about giving it a small bump up

ad

Im on 160mg Test C a week and. 80mg NNP or deca .

Im pretty happy with it but thinking if i bumped it up to 200mg and maybe 120 for 12weeks then drop back down to my TRT dose.
Ive only been on the deca for a few weeks now but im so happy my joints arent killing me anymore .

But imthinking i going to stop that over the winter when i do less outside. To give my body time to relax.

More is not necessarily better! My trt script is wrote for 140mg/week, but I swear I feel better (libido/estrogen/sides) closer to 120 to 125mg/week. My blood numbers are good at both levels, but higher test numbers dont always mean you feel better.

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Play with fire and you will probably get burned. Now you up your test and start having aromatization issues that coupled with the deca and now you run into progesterone issues. Now you have tits, acne, bloat, can't get it up etc. Bumping it up doesn't sound like a big deal at first but it can have some unwanted consequences if you aren't prepared. Better research all compounds before you take that little bump and it ends up turning your world upside down.

Really? The TRT dosage seems pretty reasonable to me... What are you referring to?

Last time I took deca for joint relief I pushed it to the limits, 3 weeks later I hated my life. My fkn arms felt like someone tried to rip them out of the sockets. Never took it again.

Okay that's fair. I was mainly looking at the Test dosage which is pretty reasonable. But I agree, Nandrolone is rarely prescribed anymore. However, it is still FDA approved for anemia and available by prescription. I have heard that some doctors may prescribe it for off-label use like joint health/healing...

Why is that not TRT it puts me at 800-900 dip in Test and a peak of 1050-110.

Just looking for info . I know the Deca not TRT as it not natural which is why im thinking of droping it in the winter. But to say it helps the joints are a understatement.

Is there a question in there? Or are you just sharing your intent to up your dosage? Regardless, are you prescribed the nandrolone? I have heard some people can get it while on TRT...

I would say that if your bloodwork looks good, then have at it. Let your bloods be your guide.

Yea blood work looks good . Getting thoughts on bumping it up a little then dropping back down . Ive read up on the deca progesterone issues Which is why i want a small bump. Also trying to weight on keeping on deca year round or go off to give body a break

My joints are pretty messed up from the military . I have a few replacement parts and stock parts are grinding on each other.

Problem, you taking deca is masking the pain so in essence you are making it worse. They prescribed deca to people with issues like anemia and joint relief to those that weren't in the gym pushing their limits. So once the deca is out of your system here comes all the pain from you throwing caution to the wind and damaging them without even knowing it.

First off, thank you for your service brother!! I served, but not in combat, so I very much appreciate your service!

If your bloods look good and you aren't experiencing any noticeable side effects, then by all means, titrate up the dosages as your increases seem very reasonable. Something to keep in mind: Some are extra-sensitive to the Progestin effects of 19-nors and it may be worth having some Caber or Prami on hand. I think there are better ways to deal with those sides but that's neither here not there...

Good luck!
