Mid post cycle therapy (pct) - high LH, should I stop clomid?

Mid PCT - high LH, should I stop clomid?

About 2 weeks into my post cycle therapy (pct). taking Nolva and clomid at 50/20 every day. My last blood work showed a solid FSH and my LH was actually high. So my question is, should I stop the Clomid and Nolvadex? Since, according to blood work I'm not longer shut down and I am currently producing my own test.

Mid-PCT blood work is not relevant. High LH only proves that hypothalamus and pituitary are responsive. You should continue therapy as scheduled and test your serum LH/FSH/Testosterone/Free Testosterone again 6 to 8 weeks post therapy. Only this can confirm recovery.

Ahh. Ok. Thank you

I disagree. Let me give you an example, say you have blood work done mid post cycle therapy (pct), but you still have LH and FSH that are close to 0 and your total test is bottomed out too. Would that suggest that your pct protocol might not be working?

He is asking about recovery. Mid-Cycle blood work is not relevant to confirming recovery. There's never a bad time to get blood work, however, strategically timing blood work based on outcome-research-goal is vital.

Mid PCT is almost irrelevant in terms of elevated LH. It is artificially elevated from the drugs and needs to continued to be elevated to re-sensitize leydig cells in your testes. Do not stop your doses and finish PCT as normal.
