    I'm not sure what my LH was, I can't see it on the sheet? My Estradiol(estrogen) was 29, the range is < OR= 39
    My Testosterone , free and total, LC/MS/MS testosterone was 506 and the range is 250-1100
    My free testosterone was 93.1 and the range is 35.0-155.0

    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"?

    Without that its tough to tell if your levels are still elevated from your cycle or not

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

    no hcg mimics lh production signaling the testies to fire. The serms are what helps stimulate lh production

    SERMS such as? I may just order some to be safe...couldn't hurt could it? Or would I need PCT for that too?

    then I wouldn't run another pct at this point it would be counter productive. I just need to see if lh function has been restored

    So best bet would be to schedule another blood sample for it?

    I would assume it would be since I used HCG several times and Nolvadex ? Or am I misinformed?

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

    Ok good! I technically am prepping for shows and just want to make sure all my hormones are safe and balanced and I'm able to loose weight as needed.

    if you can I would suggest checking the lh just to be sure but it looks as though you are on the better side of things

    Just want to confirm it's a bad idea to do some Clomid and/or Nolvadex now anyway, right?

    For some reason I'm not losing any weight? Like none at all...would that be due to my LH?
    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?

    Yeah that was a week out from my last show back in March...
    I'm glad this has all happened to me, I know now on my next cycle, to include HCG once a week or something to keep everything functioning so that I do come off(using Clomid and Nolvadex ) I won't have much of a decline and won't have such a harsh rebound, is that correct?

    I guess my assumption something is wrong is just cause of what had been happening with my PCT. But I guess I'm ok...
