    dhea normal range is 120-520, but where you should fall in that range is highly dependent on age, obviously the older you get the lower the number that would be considered "normal" for you.

    Did you get bloodwork done before cycle so you can compare and see how close you are to normal for you? If so and you are back to pre-cycle levels then I would give it a few more weeks just to be safe, but if you didn't then I would wait quite a while yet, better safe than sorry, and any good cycle is worth waiting for.

    well a very general rule of thumb it time off=time on+pct. So for instance if you were on cycle for 12 weeks then pct for 4, that's 16 weeks you should be off cycle. You've been off for 2, so wait 14 more, if those were your cycle and pct lengths.
