^however, letro is notorious for crashing E2 levels to undetectable levels, so there's that concern...

Update:

One thing to add, is that dosing an AI at the same time as an injection might not be a good idea. it takes a while for the cyp/enanthate/prop to get absorbed in the body, and a tad longer before the body recognizes the high testosterone levels and begins aromatization into estrogen/estradiol....

personally, I found taking arimidex when I took an injection to result in low E2 symptoms the next day. however, taking the arimidex 4-12 hours after the injection has completely mitigated that side effect.

"Anastrozole was rapidly absorbed orally (time to reach maximum concentration, 1 h) with a slow apparent clearance of 1.54 liters/h and a terminal half-life of 46.8 h."
