[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 160593, member: 3"] Thanks for the great question. My opinion is that: 1- AIs should not be prescribed at TRT start. 2- Sensitive estradiol should be measured after 6-8 weeks 3- A ratio of testosterone to estradiol of 14 and higher is not a cause of gynecomastia (divide ng/dL by pg/mL). All men on TRT have that kind of ratios. 4- Unless you have strong genetic predisposition to gynecomastia, AI's should not be used. If AIs are used, most men do not need doses over 0.25- 0.5 mg per week. 5- [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/testosterone-caused-horrible-water-retention.12129/']Water retention[/URL] and sensitive nipples are usually NOT a symptom of high estradiol. 6- Using AIs have never been proven to decrease water retention. Water retention on TRT is caused by sodium retention. 7- It is not easy to recover from [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=crash+estradiol+excelmale.com+site:www.excelmale.com&sxsrf=ACYBGNReLFUIlkRG3mEiISrufcnyaN00_w:1570728547953&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjKpo7pm5LlAhX6HDQIHX-gCt8QrQIoBDAAegQIBRAN&biw=1920&bih=937']crashing your estradiol[/URL]. Low estradiol can decrease sex drive and penis sensitivity, bone density and increase fat mass. More here: [ATTACH=full]8427[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
