Is nandrolone decanoate or Deca easier on your HCT than testosterone?

[giannid]

I've been on TRT replacement for a year and I've been plagued by it raising my Hematocrit levels. I'm wondering if Deca has the same effect on HCT as testosterone. I know it's not used for trt but I'm just looking for people with experience using it. Wonder if it can be used with hcg to keep your test levels high enough so you don't have sexual disfunction problems.

Have you considered trying daily injections of testosterone. We have many threats on it, which you may have already read.

Not sure how I can do daily injections at my low dose of 60 to 80 mg's a week. Seems like I would loose more than I would get. I could try though. Maybe 3x a week injections instead of 2x

use 29 ga insulin pins. pretty much zero waste.

You guys inject subq or IM? I'm injecting twice a week now and combining test and HCG together and going IM.

I got shallow IM with a 29ga 1/2" insulin pin.

SQ and IM only matters in what gauge and length of syringe you choose to use, there's nothing else at play with SQ vs IM.

Have you considered TRT cream on a daily basics? Regardless of injecting/cream if you have a Hematocrit issue, you need to donate blood. what is your current number?

The same effect or worse.

 

[giannid]

I'm not sure what my current numbers are but they usually stay around 50 to 52. Donating helps but I'm trying to find another way to keep them in check. So more frequent injections have proven to keep them lower? Obviously if Deca is the same or worse, it's a no go for me.

I would go to the Red Cross and do a Double Red donation, it takes approx 30 minutes. It should lower your numbers by a few points.

HCT is the ticket to the game, as it where, some have some luck with some of these mitigating factors like Grapefruit seed extract, or daily shots, but HCT and blood donations are the price of admission in most every instance.
