I think, IMO, that in your mind, PM stops ALL aromatase conversion. It might, if your testicles have all but shut down. Even if you are on the low end, whatever T is free might be converted. At least it seems in my case. My new Doctor ordered almost a full hormone panel and my T is about mid range. I have been using PM since last October and my test was just done a month ago. I think maybe if I were on PM for another 3-5 months my T would be somewhat lower, but not sure. As long as I have that much Total T floating around, I will utilize everything I have, in regards to aromatase.
I hope you are right, that the aromatase inhibition is a minor effect. Until I am convinced there is a good alternative to phytoestrogens like PM, I will probably stick with the combination too. Also, I have no idea how much unsaturated fatty acid one would have to consume to match the breast growth potential of PM.
I have two important goals, prevention of prostate cancer and breast growth. WP seems to be helpful on both fronts, so I would hate to drop it. The same may be true for PM, although I do not know how it affects prostate cancer risk.
