Do you typically need an AI with trt?

[goingtowin]

So as some of you may know I decided to give up steroids completely (besides trt)


So I no longer cycle and never will again.

So I put myself on TRT and i'm currently doing 200mg/week (should I bump this down to 150/week?)


I do not take an AI and I do not want to have to take an AI but I have a question.


If you are on trt and it does raise your estrogen a bit does it keep going up even if the test lvls stay the same? Or does it creep up a bit and just kinda stay put and stop? I don't mind if estrogen is just a LITTLE elevated but I don't want much..


what seems to be the right dose where you don't need any form of AI?

Everyone is different. There is no black and white answer here.

Your E2 will rise to a steady level then stay there.

I did a low(ish) dose testosterone test and ran 100 Test E /wk plus 500 IU HCG. Testosterone came back 670 and E2 was in the 40's. So even at that low dose I'd need a tiny bit of AI, a very small dose.

You can't know until you hit a steady state and get blood testing, but my bet is 200/wk will need some.

Megatron writes up about how he slowly found a tipping point on his TRT. It was a pretty tiny amount per week increase led to elevated estrogen. He found a TRT dose that kept him in normal ranges but didn't need an AI.

I have to use an AI regardless due to medication side effects. I ran elevated estrogen and low T. I have to take more AI than if I wasn't on medication.

Labs, trial and error.

Everyone mostly does just depends on dosages and stats.
