You leave 12 hours between last dose of NDT/T3 and blood draw, so decide what time you are going for your blood draw and alter the time of your meds for the day before so there is the 12 hour gap between last dose and blood draw.

According my schedule I can not make 12 hrs if my last dose is at 12pm .all I can do is to wait maybe 10.5hrs is that ok?

Yes, that should be OK. I wouldn't take it much closer to the blood draw as it may affect FT3 result which is the most important one when on NDT and/or T3.
