How long after Lupron will testosterone level return to normal?

Well, that will depend....
How long you were on ADT, how old you are...I can only relate my experience. I did triplet therapy starting in Jan 17 (see my attached clinical history). Last Lupron shot was May 18, it was 90 day shot so by August it began "clearing" my system. By October, T was 135, by February 19, 400+ and before we went back on treatment in Apr 23, 600+.
If you've done a literature search, there are some statistics that say nearly 80% of men do not recover T, yikes!
Why did I, we may never know. One thing I think may have been a factor is I am pretty active. Most days I go to the gym, indoor bike, weights swim, other days I ride my 25-50 miles. I ski, hike, do the gardening. Exercise may play a role in T recovery.
I have seven weeks left on this go round of 12 months of Orgovyx, we'll see what happens then.

Thank you for a topic that I am monitoring and interested in others outcomes.. I have discovered that everyone has a different journey with prostate cancer treatment.
To your question:
I completed 2 years of Lupron and have just been on a 7 month holiday .. my psa is undetectable still HOWEVER my testosterone still remains very low…I am grateful for the treatment plan I am on and would take Lupron again…stay active.. I walk, golf and go to the gym 4 days a week
