Plain and simple, the body is not a switch it cannot just bump up to its regular hormone levels in a couple of days. Instead it initiates the process and depending on how long you are "on" it will take the body longer to reach the pre-cycle levels.
You basically take certain hormonal functions away from the body when doing AAS (mainly your giving your body test instead of the other way around), so the body doesn't have to do that work, when you stop the body goes into shock because it expected you to be doing the work (injecting test) forever, so it starts up its own production in reaction and depending on how long you are on it will take the body longer to get everything together.
