i was always told to not even drink water or anything. i never listened to them. i dont think it will effect anything. get your thyroid levels checked as well.
Not only is water ok, it's mandatory. Failure to drink 1-2 pints 60-90 minutes before your labs can easily result in morning dehydration. When you are dehydrated it will elevate serum concentrations of just about everything.
Avoid more than 1 cup (8 oz - not a 32 ounce mug) of coffee. It increases the conversion of testosterone to estradiol.
Great thx guys
Yeah he is undertaker
Thx for quick response guys what about coffee?
coffee is fine as well.
I would test liver and kidney function as well.
yeah water is fine fast is just no food.
Water s fine! At least my doc told me that!
