Thinking about adding a 19-nor to my next cycle. Had good results with test and have done var before but never run a 19-nor. People seem split between NPP and deca. I like the idea of NPP clearing faster if sides pop up but deca seems to be the classic choice. Running alongside test e at 500mg. Any strong opinions either way?

Deca for a first 19-nor run. NPP is fine but the shorter ester means pinning more often and adjusting more frequently. For a first run you want simplicity. Deca at 300-400mg with test e at 500mg is a classic for a reason. Have caber on hand for prolactin and that is the main thing to watch.

I would actually say NPP for the reason you mentioned - it clears faster. When you are new to a compound there is value in knowing it will be out of your system quicker if something is not right. Deca can stick around for weeks. The control benefit of NPP is real.

Both are valid. Pharmacologically they are the same compound with different ester lengths. The practical difference is clearance time and injection frequency. At 300mg deca vs 300mg NPP weekly the effect is equivalent. Ask yourself whether injection frequency matters to your schedule - if already pinning test e twice weekly, NPP on the same days is seamless.

Going with NPP based on this discussion. Control benefit makes sense for a first run with a new compound. Will run it at 300mg alongside test e 500mg. Have caber in hand just in case. Cheers all.

NPP is also a good choice. I run it at 200mg twice weekly. The frequency is manageable and you can adjust quickly if sides come up. Good decision.
