I think it all comes to if the T microdosing doesn't convert to E. If it does I will be suppressing my natural T production, otherwise not. Correct?



I will be controlling T conversion to E with diet and natural supplements only. Using an AI would be too much though, as I am aware of successful cases of AI mono-therapy with Aromasin, that managed to increase T and free T substantially. Therefore, I would not know if the increase was from the extra T or the AI.
Not exactly. Androgens also feedback negatively on GnRH & LH secretion, but are not as potent as E2. I don't understand the logic that very small doses of supplemental T will convert at a slower rate (mg for mg) than larger doses. As far as I know, the conversion follows enzyme mediated mass-action kinetics. The more substrate you feed the enzyme, the more it will convert until the enzyme is saturated, at which point conversion rate (mg for mg) will drop off.

To the second point, I believe controlling E2 is a wise move if you have labs to show that your E2 is high or out of range. However, playing with a necessary hormone without understanding baseline values with labs is not something I recommend. Honestly though, I wish you the best of luck with your experiment.
