Tongkat Ali - how long for test to return to normal?

[RobW52]

61 yr old male as of today. Got a PA to prescribe Andro-gel last year and took for 2 months....felt great but when I went for my annual physical my test and estradiol were exorbitant so my family doctor told me to stop. Started taking tongkat ali and have been for around 3 months, 10 on 5 off. Now my doctor is becoming receptive to my trying Andro-gel again after quizzing me on how I felt after stopping compared to on. He wants to do a baseline testosterone test so I'm wondering how long should I wait after ceasing the tongkat for my levels to normalize. Any ideas? Txs.

I think the raise in test will last a few hrs at best. id say if you stopped a week b4 you went for tests, you would get as accurate a number as you would have before its use.
