Total test back to normal after PCT but LH and FSH not tested yet - am I actually recovered?

[HighAltitude]

Just got bloodwork at 12 weeks post cycle. Total testosterone came back at 620 ng/dL which is in normal range. Did a 12 week test only first cycle at 500mg, ran nolvadex PCT for 4 weeks. Time on equals time off rule suggests I am clear to go again. But I have been reading that total test alone does not confirm recovery - LH and FSH both need to be in range too. Otherwise the number could just be residual. Should I get the full panel before starting again? Am in Colorado which I know affects some markers at altitude.

didnt know LH and FSH mattered too, only checked total test. gonna get the full panel done before starting again. cheers for posting this, would have made the same mistake otherwise

The LH and FSH point is something I did not know before my first cycle. Got my post-cycle total test back at 590 and thought I was fully recovered. Found out later that LH and FSH are what actually confirm the HPTA restarted properly. Going to run a full panel next time - total test, LH, FSH, and sensitive E2 - before calling recovery confirmed.
