How often are you getting your testosterone checked? How high is it now? How long ago did you stop taking Orgovyx?

Because of the drugs you were on, it can take a year to a year and a half before your testosterone reaches a low normal level.

I guess you mean you were on Orgovyx Pills for the last year. While that helps get your testosterone back sooner if that is all you are on, because of the long-term use of Lupron it still may take a year or more.

Your age is a factor as well. You don’t mention how old you are.

The hero study showed about half of Orgovyx users got A significant amount of testosterone back within about 90 days.

I was on Lupron for six years and went on Orgovyx For about nine months when I stopped taking it to see if my testosterone would ever come back. After eight months, it hit 50 and was going up to about 25% a month at that point. I was 77 at the time and that’s actually pretty unusually fast for my age and length of time on the drugs.

My brother was on Lupron for six months and it took almost a year for him to stop having the side effects. He was 77 at the time.
