I just got my routine blood work back from my doctor and she put me on vitamin d. I guess my levels were low enough to be prescribed it.

I read it can cause low testosterone by being vitamin d deficient. I was just about to start a test cyp cycle next week too.

Anyone have thoughts on whether it's still ok to run it?

You'll be fine, just make sure your taking vit d as a supplement along with it.

Same here. 12 weeks.

Now I'm about to start 5000 iu / day

I always wondered why I was deficient in the first place. I still have no idea.

Are you in the northeast or live in a cold climate by any chance? That's one of the main reasons why people have low vitamin d. My biggest question is, how much of an effect does it have on test levels?

no Im on the sunny west coast.

I was actually wondering the opposite...can exogenous hormones have an adverse effect on Vit D levels ?
