Do you need to take estrogen suppression if you are taking testosterone?
No, you really don't need estrogen blockers if you are taking testosterone as part of replacement therapy or a sex-reassignment program. That said, taking estrogen blockers may help decrease feminization and make the testosterone replacement more effective in the case of sex-reassignment. However, men who take testosterone and/or anabolic steroids for performance enhancement reasons would generally block the aromatase enzyme to prevent testosterone from being converted to estrogen. Excessive amounts of testosterone causes breast growth since the body converts extra testosterone to estrogen. As always, you should never take any sort of prescription medication that is not prescribed to you, and nothing said here should be taken as medical advice.
Does a man create more testosterone than before taking estrogen after he quits?

Does more estrogen balance excess testosterone in women?
Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement "Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive." Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html "Just taking birth control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone." Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x
