Why is recovery time always projected to be so long?

This may be kind of a dumbass question, but I cannot find a logical answer to it so I want some feedback. Why is recovery time always projected to be so long? It takes no time for your body to be suppressed, but with PCT drugs it seems it should then take no time for you to come out of that suppression. If you recover naturally, i can see that it may take time. What I do not understand is why it would take time beyond your PCT for your body to begin producing normal hormones. The drugs however trigger a response for your body to start producing these hormones, just as the steroids trigger them to stop. So, to me it seems once you begin your PCT regimen, by the time you finish PCT your body should be producing natural levels and blood work should reflect that.

Maybe it is because I am young, but my recovery is always very quick. Just as stated above. I can go on for 12 weeks, off for 4 and my bloodwork says its normal. Time to start another cycle. I am a little nervous as I have been on for a long long time now, and am worreid that I may not go back to fully "normal" even after PCT. This of course if my fault. I guess my entire point of this thread would be this question:

If you are not recovered by the end of an extensive PCT, is it safe to say that you will not recover? Why would more time have any effect on production if PCT did not?

To answer your question it is not safe to say that you will not recover. A lot of people run a second PCT if the first isn't successful. If that does not work a trip to a reproductive endocronologist will be the next step. If that doesn't work you can always go to HRT.

The drugs for PCT surge all of your levels. Once you take those away your body has to adjust again.

As long as your smart about your PCT you shouldn't have too much to worry about. It really becomes a problem when you're supressed for a year or longer.

Two major myths. One...as soon as you take exogenous hormones you're shut down. And two...PCT will recover your natural levels.

ALL recovery is natural. All PCT does is make the transition a little smoother and the recovery a little faster. It is not a cure or a prevention.

But the fact that the body becomes suppressed quickly has nothing to do with lengthy recovery. A bullet wound damages quicker than the recovery too.
