I was thinking about this post on the way to work and thought I should clarify it. Suppression is just that. Think of it like a curve, the longer you stay on test and or the higher you use it, the further down the curve you get to total suppression, eventually you will hit rock bottom of that curve but how much and how long that will take is an individual response. So your body still has the ability to produce some testosterone on it’s own but to what degree is still dependent on the individual. As for LH and FSH, HCG mimics these chemical secretions and the body can’t tell the difference so it begins to raise endogenous test again. Without it, you can eventually become fully suppressed. Once you stop HCG though the body still takes some time to build up endogenous LH and FSH again on it’s own.
