How do I lower E2 post PCT? AI or SERM?

I finished PCT a couple months ago and test levels are relatively normal (slightly below pre-cycle level). My PCT was nolva and Clomid.

The strange thing is that my E2 is very high. It's at 52ng whereas 18 before. I'm assuming this is some sort of rebound. Which I understand to mean that there was a large amount of the aromatase enzyme present in my system which got to work overproducing E2 when I stop my SERM?

What would be the best way for me to bring this level back down to normal? Do I need a suicidal AI? Or will A-dex bind to the enzyme long enough that my liver will metabolize it? Or does aromatase enzyme stick around until it is used to aromatize?

I also thought about using a SERM to prevent the high E2 currently in my system from wreaking havoc. At least In the short run. My libido sucks right now.

My plan was to get the levels back to normal and stable for a couple weeks, then stop AI and test again to see what happens. Is this a good or bad plan? SERM better for this, etc.

Thanks for any input

1 Generally speaking the lesser/shorter SERMs use the better.

2 it looks like SERMs won't completely block estrogen action in ALL tissues.

3 Do you still have high Testosterone blood levels from your cycle?
How long ago was your lat T pin?

4 So a Letro tab (2.5 mg) just once a week may be a start
Letrozole once a week normalizes serum testosterone in obesity-related male hypogonadism. - PubMed - NCBI
it will likely reduce Estro levels, but won't crash them.

Thanks, man. Test is back down to normal, finished PCT about two months ago. And I had waited about four weeks form last pin to PCT. So it must be a rebound or my body is fucking up. Hopefully not that latter.

I don't have letro, but can get some by middle of next week. I have arimidex on hand, do you think that can work as well? Or letro is the far better choice?
