Deca and HCG only cycle

[ConBalDoc]

Hi! I'm 36 yo and have had limited experience with cycles so far. I have had 3-4 cycles with low dose deca (200mg/week with low dose test-e 250 mg/week). I've also been on finasteride for many years and have kept most of my hair. I'm on my 10th week of another cycle with deca and test-e (same low dosage). There are three things that make me think I could be fine with a deca only cycle and drop the test:
1. Strangely enough, while Deca gives me nice results with some small but adequate for me gain in mass, test does not seem to benefit me. On the contrary I seem to be wasting away a couple of days after my test injection. I admit I'm not on a high callory diet but my goal is to achieve a mild lean bulk and nothing more and Deca achieves that while test seems to be counterproductive with a moderate callory diet.
2. Hair-loss!! I've been shedding a bit over the past five weeks, not catastrophically but it becomes noticeable. I've now started duta 1.5 mg/day (most I can afford).
3. When younger I've done short cycles (8 weeks) of deca only (200 mg/week) and I've had gains I was happy with and no deca dick and full recovery afterwords with minimal PCT.
I'm also on Arimidex 0.5 ed and I've just got some HCG.
Bottom line is, I know everyone says no test-free cycles! But if for me low dose deca only cycles give me the gains I need and I'm happy with that, while not loosing my hair why not stick with it? I never experienced low sex drive or any other problems while only on low dose deca. And if I can combine it with a bit of HCG (500 mg twice a week?) then don't people think I would have no issues with shutting down at such low dose deca?
Grateful for any thoughts on this!!!

Give it a try my not got Deca dick cause you were young. .I wouldn't run deca alone.. worst case could add test if you were not liking results. . If that only compounds you have used y not switch it up like use eq or primo in place deca

I would never advise a nandrolone decaonate only cycle. That sounds like a very bad idea to me.

No test cycle are being run all over the show ... especially here in my area. It is not uncommon, at all, and a lot of the guys I see running them, do have good (well, good enough) results.

Way back in the day, guys used to run Plenty of test-free cycles as back then, Test was not too well known or understood and everybody was too scared to run test at what we consider low dosages today, but a lot has changed since then.

I suffer from balding and made peace with ages ago, though I know that I would've had more hair had I never used Test in my cycles.

People react different to anything and many things. I am, myself, going to run a Deca only cycle to see how my reaction is ... BUT ... I will have short estered Test on hand and WILL run Caber with it.

The end of the day, you know your body best and if you feel that a low dosed (200mg/week) Deca cycle will work, then try it, but please have some test on hand and have your ancillaries in place as well.

maybe you 're shedding cause you use deca with finasteride/dutasteride....

Thanks for the reply. I know about the whole deca/fina (or duta) theory but I'm not convinced there is any substance to it. I have been taking fina for years and it helped me keep my hair that i was loosing in my twenties. Should i just stay off fina/duta while on deca? Won't i start sheding cause of my natural test production? I would be quite scared to stop fina/duta because I'm on an anabolic steroid. It seems counter-intuitive to me. Do really people think fina/duta make deca androgenic and cause hair loss?
