question from a user
I’ve put a post on here recently. I am waiting for more blood test results but previously I had high SHBG, high total T, high e2, low normal free T. I’m considering trialing an AI (aromasin) on its own to lower E2 and SHBG and increase free T. I’ve spoken to a few people on here who have had good results. I don’t want to go on TRT as we are going to try for a baby this year/ won’t get prescribed TRY in the uk with my numbers anyway, so this seems like a low risk option. Do you see any issues with this AI mono protocol, providing I get regular blookdwork and don’t drive my e2 too low? My understanding is that it’s difficult to crash e2 when you aren’t on TrT so fairly low risk.

With high E2 that is probably true, for men with low Estrogen they can certainly bottom out their Estrogen even with a basic AI dose.
For your goals & restrictions, your idea has merit & it may help. You should start low & go up from there while monitoring how you feel.
You could also consider going on HCG monotherapy combined with an AI at slightly higher dose. You would still get more free T & some TRT benefits while also increasing your spermatic production for conception. HCG monotherapy is not typically better than traditional TRT but it is likely to be better than just an AI.
