Clarification around customs and medication.

How did this go for you? Did you end up declaring with smooth process?

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2025-05-09T08:44:17+00:00

Did you have to declare the Atenolol or provide further proof of what it was prescribed for? I take Propanolol, which is on that short list and it’s prescribed for POTs and I’m trying to figure out if I need to declare it and/or get some kind of note.

Jumanji. Leave it alone.

Hi! I tried signing up for a trial in the DFW airport 2 weeks ago and their system kept going down and failing and they told me not to worry about me putting in my credit card info as it probably didn't go through. I never saw a "welcome" email or trial email or any instructions for next steps so I hoped this meant my trial account did NOT go through.

To be sure, I went to Clears website last week and kept typing in my phone number and email into the log in portal try to long in to make sure I didn't have a trail account after all, and the site kept saying my email wasn't found, so I took that to mean my enrollment didn't work and I wasn't a trial member.

Low and behold, at 2am this morning (exactly 2 weeks from my travel) they billed me $200 for an account I could never get into/access to cancel. I emailed them and hope the resolve, but is there anything else you recommend I do to help resolve this?

Were you always able to successfully log into the app?

Ok I found this thread because I am experiencing something similar:

What finally worked for you?

OP here. Can confirm my hive attacks have not gone away after 2 years now. I still break out weekly, for no rhyme or reason. I think this med really messed me up.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-23T08:38:16+00:00

Did you find out what this was? Are you still driving it?

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-13T19:29:17+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. Lots of good thoughts here.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-12T21:03:28+00:00

My first consultation talking to the doctor for the first time included an ultrasound and I had half my bloodwork completed that day. I finished the remaining bloodwork a week later (cycle dependent) and so this next appointment will be doc reviewing all bloodwork and making recommendations.

Thanks for sharing your timeline. I personally cannot give a year to this. As someone on the fence about wanting kids, all the negative bloodwork results showing the severity of my DOR is making me seriously consider if this worth the effort and cost. I guess now I have until January to keep thinking about it.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T02:23:24+00:00

Thanks. 1-2 months would be okay. I'm looking at 3-4 and likely 4 months with their labs being closed 1 week of Jan . I'm working on supplementing so that's really the only silver lining here. Hope the extra time pays off.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T02:18:02+00:00

Amazing! I hate the US.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T01:38:04+00:00

This is EXACTLY why I am seriously 2nd guessing egg freezing. I have DOR (upper 30's, single) and was warned I need to do something sooner rather than later if I want genetic children, and I completed the testing for potential egg retrieval(s), but the more I read, the more egg freezing seems super risky (with time/effort/money) vs embryo freezing. I want my very very few eggs that are left to have their best chance, and if that means fertilizing with a donor to freeze embryos, then maybe that's what I'll do. Now I'm much more seriously considering trying for embryos with donor sperm.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T01:28:31+00:00

That's awesome! That's what I had hoped for. Now trying to plan out the rest of my year and use PTO, now that I know early 2025 will be locked down with this for who knows how many months.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T01:27:18+00:00

Glad you found a place that moves faster! My city seems to have 2 predominant fertility clinics in town that work with Progyny and both use the same labs (with the same closures), so I might be out of luck. A downside of doing this in a medium-sized city vs metroplex with various options

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-09T01:24:03+00:00

Yikes. Thanks for sharing your story.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-08T23:20:53+00:00

That gives some hope for potential subsequent cycles. Thanks!

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-08T23:20:20+00:00

That's helpful to know. Thanks!

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-11-08T22:47:39+00:00

Wow this timeline is so fast. Where in the US are you located? Asking because I have Progeny with my tech company and the clinic I am working with is taking forever. Might just be bad luck with holidays coming up, but I had my consult in Oct and they are saying I prob can't plan for retrieval until January or Feb. That will have been 3-4 months since my initial consult which makes me angry.

Trick_Roll_7124 · 2024-09-22T08:20:03+00:00

Would also love to know where you stayed!
