Depends.

ON for 14 months, then ran PCT like this -

HCG, followed by 4 weeks of Clomid/Nolv/Arimidex

Blood work done at my 5 week mark, and I was already in the normal range for estrodial and free test.

well it aint Just free test and estrodial you need to be checking... need to get Lipids checked.. and such

Im on clomid, been off for 3 weeks after 16 on, and cant keep "it" down. Does that mean im recovered?

it depends on your definition of recovered. some guys just like it when Mr. winkie is back to normal and the balls are hanging low again. then other guys like to know that all their blood concentrations are in the normal range. If you can get it up then I would imagine your free test is good but other than that, you can't tell much from that.

Never said anything different. I was just making mention that I was in the normal range for those 2 in 5 weeks.

The body recovers faster than many think.

I am guessing that you really wanted to know about your test and estradiol, but recovery should involve everything to close to pre-cycle numbers.

For example, if you took t-3 (cytomel), you can expect about 8 weeks to thyroid recovery. Until then you feel slow and crap and get fat.

If your cholesterol was elevated and your ldl/hdl numbers changed, you can expect about 12-16 weeks after a long cycle.

It depends on what you took, for how long at what dose, your age etc.. and what aspects of your body's chemistry you are worried about.
