HCG is a nuisance for some of us due to the added aromatization. On average using it increases my aromatization rate from 0.5% to 0.7%. So it's at least conceivable that more extreme cases would push 1%, especially in individuals starting with above-average rates. At present I don't think we can say with any certainty whether long-term high estradiol is better or worse than long-term AI use.The LC/MS estradiol tests are not entirely trustworthy, so I would have repeat measurements before doing anything other than reducing the testosterone doses. Ideally an immunoassay test would be included in repeat testing. If it comes back lower than the sensitive method then you might suspect something's wrong.
