Never fast without first getting advice from your doctor.
Reply:How long do you intend to fast??? If you are fasting for a day it won't hurt you.
Reply:I'm going to guess that you are fasting, or, need to fast, due to an upcoming cholesterol blood test.


Ideally, you should fast for 12 - 14 hours, no shorter, no longer.


Keep using your med as needed, but, remember, no food, fluid, smoking, tic tacs, gum, etc while you fast.


Also, be sure to have a doctor closely monitor your hormone treatment, misuse can cause a decrease in sperm production and a decrease in penile/testicular size. Not for all, just for those misusing the hormone.
