Man. Company has new insurance company that is demanding I re-test prior to them paying for my test.

I am 49 and have been on HRT for about 18 months. Prescribed 1ml of cyp cream to be rubbed on my forearms 3 times per day.

Problem is....uh, my friend is on the same programand gets extra, sooooo using some of his, I am doing about 1.5 mls 3 times per day...AND FEEL FANTASTIC!!

I was in for check-up today (had neck surgery last year) and they surprized me with this request for my bloodwork. The doc hands me a paper and says "go downstairs and get your blood drawn, then come back and see me". I just walked out of the building.

SO my question is this: since this cream is not an injectible, is the half-life very brief.....when would be a safe day to go get the blood drawn (that they seem to want immediately)?

Thanks in advance. Like I said...so bummed.
