do i really need more AI when taking HCG?

[SoHo]

when i'm on 250mg cyp a week i need .25mg adex every 4 or 5 days on average. yesterday i added some tren @ 50mg ED, dropped my test to 150/week, and added 500iu HCG/week @ 250 twice a week.

i've never had my test that low but i doubt i would need an AI. but should i still keep at my current AI protocol because of the addition of HCG? 500iu is a pretty low dose of HCG so would it even raise my e2 that much?

i'll cut my AI completely and get bloods in a week to see whats going on.

i'm due for bloodwork anyway i'm just wondering what you fellas think.

Yes the whole point is to avoid the watervretention and the high bloodpressure.

You are dropping test which will aromatize and adding tren which will not, so I would say no, but there is only one way to know for sure, and that is bw. You are already on a very low dose of adex.

I don't know how many guys need adex at all at 150mg test cyp ew, unless they have had problems with gyno.

I personally don't find that I have to increase my AI dose for 500iu of hCG taken twice weekly. But some guys do. You will have to get blood work and see how hCG effects you. Easiest way to check that is to add it to your cruise protocol and see what happens.

Sorry I didnt see that you were looking to increase the Aromatise Inhibitor. You dont need to increase it.

Let us know how the blood results come back!

agreed.
and if anything since you dropped test dose a bit I would then do blood work after a few weeks if this new layout and see your e2 levels to better judge. you may even need to drop AI dose or all of it.
