Either way, just stop the Aromasin and let your estrogen go back to whatever it is naturally on this test and HCG protocol. So wait about 1.5 - 2 weeks. Then start off very low dose with your AI. Your protocol should have your test levels pretty high, so starting off at like 12.5mg of Aromasin 24 hours after your test injection days should work well. So take 12.5mg of Aromasin 2x/ week.

[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 68678, member: 15043"] I definitely see the logic in doing it this way, and I completely understand why guys would do it this way. But this is playing the short game with TRT, which is the wrong way to do it. If you want to be successful with TRT, you have to play the long game. When your entire protocol has reached it's steady state, your levels of test and estrogen will all be very consistent, so taking different doses of an AI on certain days is pointless, and is just going to give you problems instead of solutions. It's a little complicated, and I don't want to make you or anyone else read another book of a post of me explaining it lol. But here is exactly what I would probably do.
