The issue is without seeing your lh production we can't tell weather your body has recovered or not. Your levels look good but I would like to see if your body is producing lh to stimulate testicular function or not
What would it be labeled as on the write up? "LH"?Quote:

Yes you can
Just looked on the write up and it's not there. However everything was said to be perfect...what stimulates LH? Just HCG?Quote:

the fact that your levels look good within range and you have been off for the length of time you have are very good indicatorsQuote:

You said no need for Clomid/Nolvadex at this point...can I ask why?
you have been offling enough that Clomid and nolvadex are going to hinder recovery. They could make your lh levels go hypo. I would look at your diet if your not loosing weight that's a good thing right?Quote:

Yes recovery is much better when hcg is included in your cycle
I guess my assumption something is wrong is just cause of what had been happening with my PCT. But I guess I'm ok...Quote:
