Estrogen is at 100. Aromasin??

What else are you taking, for how long? Or is from your natural endogenous testosterone production?
How do you FEEL? Are your nipples sensitive or painful at all, do you have edema in your ankles, how is your sexual function?

Without knowing any of that, 12.5mg eod would likely be a sledgehammer that could have you at low estrogen quickly (which is definitely worse than elevated). You generally want the highest estrogen you tolerate well without side effects mentioned above, as it’s protective of the heart and brain, pads the joints, aids recovery, performance and muscle growth.

I'm taking 200 mgs week of testosterone. 3 IU of HGH daily. Retatrutide @ 6 mgs/week.
My total test was 2744.
Free was 714.
I feel fine as of now. No nip sensitivity. No mood swings.

Geez I wish I could pull that kind of total test off 200mg/wk 😂

If you are at 2700ng/dl, I would argue that 100 is on the lower side (from a t:e ratio perspective) and would fully expect you to feel just fine. Nothing to worry about at all there. Ratios and numbers are just baseline starting points of course, but there’s an idea that many guys feel great at about a 20:1 t:e. So if you have 800 test levels, e2 of 40 might be an ideal spot to start for many. Things are very individual and get murkier when on a blast (like this definitely is for you), but I wouldn’t be worried in the least with test that high as long as e2 was under 200 and you don’t have sides. 135 would be ~20:1 for you, for reference.

TLDR you shouldn’t take an AI right now.

I really appreciate your input. Now I'm confused even more. Lol. So I should NOT take Aromasin?

Do NOT take any aromasin, unless you get nipple sensitivity. You should be good to go as is.

Well AWESOME. Thanks again man. And when you say nipple sensitivity.....like would my shirt bother me?! Lol. I've always had sensitive nipples so I'm just wondering how they would feel if they were "sensitive" from high estrogen.

Different, in a bad way. Burning, itching, stinging or aching that you haven’t otherwise experienced.
 
Had a similar situation last cycle—E2 crept up and my sleep turned to garbage, plus workouts felt sluggish. Started with 12.5mg Aromasin EOD and it leveled me out within a couple weeks. Didn’t crash it, but the night sweats and random joint stiffness eased up. Only thing I’d say is don’t wait the full 3 weeks if you start feeling too dry or libido tanks. I pulled bloods at 2 weeks just to be safe. Reta actually didn’t mess with my estrogen much, but test/base compounds? Different story. Keep the AI light and reassess.
