I've never used gear before. I'm thinking about running a 200 mg/week deca cycle for 10-12 weeks. I have a bunch of questions.
I want to keep dosages low since i don't know how i'm going to respond yet, but if things go smoothly should I taper to 300mg/week, or even 400mg/week after 6-8 weeks, or is 200mg for the whole cycle probably good enough for a steroid novice to get decent gains?
Is it necessary to take test with deca? I can live with low sex drive and some mood issues if these are the main side effects to expect from a deca-only cycle, but I've seen a lot of people say that deca shouldn't be run without some test.
Since the deca dosage is low, is 500iu/week HCG split into twice a week enough if i start running it from week 1? Should i stop taking HCG at the end of the cycle or run it for another week or two?
Is 3 weeks after discontinuing deca about right to start taking clomid? I was planning on a 300mg opening day, and 50mg/day for about 4-5 weeks. Is that about right for deca PCT?
Answers to any of these are much appreciated.

I forgot to mention part of the reason i wanted to do a deca-only cycle is that my hair has been slowly receding even though i've been on finasteride for 3 years. Because of that I'd prefer to do no test or to keep it as low as possible, cause any hair i lose might not be coming back lol.
