    Also, the vials do vary in strength. If you wish to increase your dose I definitely would. I'm not a fan of AI, I've never used one. I would try to avoid it.

    Wild ride! Went from 120mg > 100mg > 80mg > 90mg. T is higher at 90mg 3x a week than 100mg 2x a week

I just could not control my HCT so I lowered my dose and now I inject 16 mg daily and 500 IU of HCG every third day.
