Maintaining Fertility while using Deca (nandrolone)?

Fisher

I have been looking online for and references about fertility and low dosage Deca.

My TRT is:

150mg Test cyp per week (50mg 3x week)
.25mg Arimidex per week
1500mg HcG per week (500mg 3x week)

My sperm count has been ok with the TRT, but I would like to add Nandrolone at about 150mg per week.

Any thoughts or experience with this dosage? Would it be of benefit to add more HcG

HCG doesnt work that way, my own opinion is that you're already using more than what we typically use in TRT which would be 500 twice per week. There's nothing to be gained really by using more than that, tends to just aggravate (increase) Estrogen. You should have no worries about fertility if adding Deca.

Agree. You're just throwing money down the drain using that much hCG with exogenous testosterone.
 
Not sure where deca fits into trt but if it's only for muscle gains, I wouldn't do it.
I think it's suspected to raise prolactin not sure though but of course it's a known erection killer.

Good question. I think your HCG dose may work as is. Only one way to find out: Get a sperm quality test before and 4 weeks later.

Thanks for the replies.

I used Deca before, 3 months at 200mg per week, and never had any issues with erections or prolactin. Maybe I'm lucky? My labs showed 3.78 ng/ml at 3 months.

Coastwatcher- I have been on the HcG for 1.5 years, last months sperm count was ok.

All the info I can find about Deca causing infertility has been with bodybuilding dosages. It's a shame there isn't more studies done on low dosage usage. Such a helpful drug.

Will do another sperm test as the Nelson suggested.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
