For example, if one insists on using HCG, you can guarantee they will need an AI also, because for whatever reason HCG causes a rise in estrogen in addition to LH. But, if you are willing to forgo the HCG, it is possible for some men to need no AI either.
I don't know where you're getting your information but it's not correct in most cases. I am happy you had such a dramatic shift in E2 by changing to twice weekly but I can tell you that it's not the norm for sure. Please reference GNBM's post above as he's got it right.

The use of hCG can increase E2 both through the natural production of Test and the increase in intra-testicular E2. In the later case an AI is very ineffective in controlling these levels and is the primary reason a man should take low and more frequent doses of hCG to prevent the increase of E2.
