a few questions

[Brad102]

1) I'm considering taking deca + ... for my next cycle. I was wondering if deca also gives you a somehow Bloated face as it seems test does. I was quite satisfied by my first test cycle, but I did notice a change on my face which bothered me a bit. I mean, it's nice to have a great body, but if you got a pumped up face... it does spoil a bit of the fun.

2) I've taken my last shot 2 weeks ago and have just started clomid therapy. (I was on 500 mg test only for 8 weeks). I haven't noticed anything so far. Since it was a fairly light cycle, I assume I shouldn't expect some significant "crash", but still, I'm waiting for any sign of it. Within what timespan should I notice anything (release of water retention, effects on the mood ...) ?

3) I haven't either really noticed anuy change on the size of my testicules.... is there any way of telling if/when my natural test production is back to normal ?

4) deca vs. test : which one is the first to kick in ?

1) Deca casues edema as well.
2) It' will take around four weeks for all the test being released from sust, (the decanoate ester), to be metabolized from your system. This means you will have an exogenous source of testosterone in your system for up to a month following your last injection. This inevitably will dely your own endocrine system from doing the work on it's own. More than likely if you "crash" it will be in a week or two once there is no longer any biologicaly active test in your system. You may not notice much if anything at all in the way of a crash. It's not like withdrawl syptoms of amphetamines or other narcotics.
3) Refer to #2. It's hard to tell if your boys are in full operation once again. A blood test would tell the story, but most people never get thier test levels checked. Your libido should be in full swing and testicular atrophy will recede. That's a good indication that the boys are back on the job.

I wouldn't run deca alone in your next cycle. If you're having a hard time with your member now a deca only cycle will reak havoc. If you made great gains with test and had few sides why not stick with it and wither up the dose or run something else with it. Deca being one option, however not the best IMO.

Hey, thanx for your answers.

I know I could do another test cycle, stacked with dbol for instance or something else. But I would like to give deca a try, so I can see for myself how I react and know which one between test and deca suits me the best.

I think I'm gonna do 400 mg/deca + 250 mg test for 8 weeks.

with 500 mg test for 8 weeks, I hardly notice any side effect. My nipples remained just the same, I only got a little bit of acnea on my back, but nothing terrible, and as for water retention, I'm still quite unsured about this : I do think I have a slightly puffed face (but I'm the only one to notice this ! so I could be wrong...)
as for mass gains, since I've only ended my cycle 2 weeks ago, I will see if I melt like ice under the sun or if I keep what I think to be muscle gains....
I've not noticed anything about my sex drive... except I had slightly more often hard-ons than usual... but nothing overwhelming, really ! so I'm guessing I'm not significantly prone to any side effects of the AAS...

on second thought, I'd rather do a 300 mg deca / 500 mg test for 8 weeks. But since I can only get 2 ml deca amps, what if I shot every 5 days... ? does it come down to 300 mg/week ?
