Question about NPP only cycle

[SquatRackCurler]

I've done three cycles, 2x Test+Deca and this last one: 300 test + 400 NPP + TBol (50 mg/d x 6wks). I also used Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during the cycle and a bit afterwards.

I do love test, but after each cycle, I get a bit of hair loss, and it's really making me want to quit cycling. But before I do, I'm considering a NPP + TBol cycle only. I've read as much as I can on it, but the web seems to be full of the same thing:

Q: Anybody ever do a NPP (or Deca) only cycle?
A: Dude, use some test. Test is best. Otherwise you're gonna be shut down for a year.

Q: Have you ever actually done such a cycle?
A: No, but this bro at the gym has a cousin who knows a guy ..

So I get that Nand will shut you down hard. But will it shut you down any harder if you don't take test? I mean it seems to me that "Test + NPP" or "NPP only" will shut you down just the same and will require the same level of post cycle therapy (pct). Maybe the test will make you feel better sexually during the cycle (muscle building effects aside), but that's it. Where am I wrong here?

Assuming this is right and it takes 4-6 weeks of post cycle therapy (pct) to get back to normal (assuming regular Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) use as well) - is there a real downside to going on NPP only?

Has anyone had any first hand experience with this? Thanks in advance.

ever heard of deca dick? also its harder to recover if you aren't replacing your body's natty test production while on cycle

well being shut down with supplemental test in your system keeps you feeling right and functional, but you go ahead and do what you want, thousands of post must be wrong and who cares about libido and sex when you're all swollen up

At the end of the cycle are you saying that the person who takes test is going to be less shut down? Can you explain how that works?

Sure, that I can understand. While on cycle, you'll feel better. But after the cycle, when PCT starts - won't you be just as shut down either way?

yup, but while your on cycle you can still feel like a man and function like one and if you follow up with clomid and nolva and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) you can pretty much transition smoothly off and still use your body and not get depressed and weepy
