Why is it important to run an AI when on cycle?

[Nerveblock67]

I'm still trying to put together the details of my first cycle and this is the number one thing I get conflicting views on.All the Aromasin I can find are 25mg tablets. Is the general school of though now to take half a tablet per day from the start of the cycle or to just have it on hand and wait on symptoms of gyno to show? I've seen no shortage of threads and articles advocating for both methods.

If this is your first cycle, I strongly recommend reading Austinite's planning your first cycle thread. It gives out TONS of good info and also lays out a very nearly fool proof first cycle.

I've read it thoroughly am planning on following it basically to a T. The only real difference is Aromasin vs Arimidex as recommended in the thread.
Even though I do plan on following it, I do receive a lot of conflicting advice on taking on from the start vs waiting, which is what makes me want to do research and get more advice/opinion on that specific aspect of it.
