While it appears we agree on the a TT dose, roughly 250mg TWICE A WEEK, signs and symptoms determine whether an AI is needed. Why because many patients develop E-2 sides with NORMAL E-2 levels.
OP Rocket does make an excellent point however that I overlooked, which is before you cycle obtain BASELINE LH, E-2 and TT levels.
Finally although many BELIEVE PCT is NECESSARY after cycling ANY AAS, many recover just fine and without enduring hypogonadism providing low dosage TT, DHT parenteral analogs and some oral agents are used.
However once the varied AAS classes are MIXED their effects on HTPA LH secretion is GREATLY enhanced making PCT mandatory.
All that being said, excluding the limited side effects from SERM therapy, using PCT after ANY CYCLE also seems reasonable if so desired.
