Pellets are expensive. T levels start high then slowly decrease as surface area of the pellets decreases. With T levels changing, managing E2 levels is never right as a competitive aromatase inhibitor [AI] to reduce T–>E2 will not be dose correct as T levels are changing.

hCG will not help if primary [testes to not work or weak].
