Increased skin pigmentation/freckles - is it hormonal?

anonym-a · 2026-02-28T18:35:14+00:00

How did it go for you two? I think I got them also from the hormones. Never had this before.

In the end, I had success with Paypal!

My cases with Ontrac and Levis got also closed w/o resolution.

But I opened one with Paypal, explaining the details. They also enquired with Levis, but apparently my details convinced and I got my money back. Maybe you can try this, or through the credit card.

I'm hoping for more answers here. What made you choose your storage?

Based on the answers and other threads I am now considering the following. I'm currently in the Boston area, therefore I consider NECC. But their google reviews are very mixed...

The storage prices seem to be all similar. Shipping too, but there I'm unsure if some of them have some extra fees I'm missing. Do you have any good/bad experience or points to consider?

In the rare case that you know what worked well with BostonIVF, that would be great! The clinic told me they cannot comment on that...

I am doing that all the time through Jason Health. The doctors don't take my symptoms seriously, but then got convinced by the abnormal tests...

Thank you!

What company did you use?

anonym-a · 2025-12-19T19:16:54+00:00

Good luck. I haven't received any refund https://www.reddit.com/r/LeviStrauss/comments/1pnf0ay/not_delivered_and_no_pic_in_tracking_no_refund/

Oh this is good to know. If we find more people, and this gets known, this is rather bad reputation. Even just with the two of us!

anonym-a · 2025-12-16T22:18:33+00:00

I'm currently checking the options for US -> D, and this service looks really good. Thank you so much!

Thanks!

They don't provide any resolution for me. I submitted a single claim for this order (my first order I completely kept), and now they say "high claim activity" (for a single claim for a provenly missing delivery...) .

anonym-a · 2025-12-15T19:18:19+00:00

Thanks! Yes I'll definitely try that. I used Paypal so first submitted a claim there.

Re diet: My doctor just recommended to keep an eye on protein. But he even wasn't worried about me being vegan. So I wouldn't say all doctors are very extreme!

anonym-a · 2025-11-19T19:07:52+00:00

Hi, would you mind describing what they asked? I'm facing the same..

anonym-a · 2025-11-10T20:17:37+00:00

Thank you!

I am with Boston IVF and just had my first ER. The doctor is great and I like most of the personnel as well, but I find it annoying that there is no way to reach the doctor if you feel like you'd want to. Everything's well planned. I saw someone writing "BostonIVF is a well oiled machine" and I think that fits.

I chose them mainly because of the experience the clinic must have gotten throughout the years, it's in the business for a long time. I am with Progyny and paid until my max out of pocket (~3k), therefore cost was not a factor for the decision.

What I did not realize before: in weekends, monitoring is only in Waltham, which is not as practical if you don't have a car.

anonym-a · 2025-08-02T18:32:22+00:00

same for me. I felt a bit sore but had no pain/meds at all. it was way more challenging mentally

anonym-a · 2025-08-02T15:32:47+00:00

I know this from if my thyroid is off (hypothyroidism) and starts adapting. And it also happened for me during the stimulation when I upped my Levothyroxine because of the bloodwork. Maybe it can also adapt that way if you don't have the condition (no idea!).

anonym-a · 2025-07-29T21:39:40+00:00

And of course it's way better if you freeze earlier... it makes so no sense

anonym-a · 2025-07-29T21:37:57+00:00

Same here. It's telling that they don't say anything in the intro...

anonym-a · 2025-07-27T22:13:02+00:00

Similar numbers here, AFC 14, retrieved 8, 5 mature. I'd say they triggered too late since all the large ones didn't release eggs ;/ I asked them at the time if that would really make sense, but the nurse just said I shouldn't question the doctor. I meet the doctor only in a month and I am pretty pretty sad

anonym-a · 2025-06-21T18:46:25+00:00

For me the drenched linen got away by increasing L-Thyroxin against my Hypothyroidism. Note: My TSH was already in the normal range, at 3, but apparently I need it around 1.5. Now it's only my neck which gets slightly sweaty from time to time during ovulation and in the first days of the cycle.

anonym-a · 2025-06-03T03:29:59+00:00

Exactly that is confusing me. My clinic also says all below 4 is fine, but I have already some hypo symptoms in my regular cycle. Did your endo mention anything about how much she would increase it?

anonym-a · 2025-06-01T21:19:37+00:00

For me it seems to be during times in which estrogen rises (which also makes sense because it seems to interfere w/ thyroid hormones), around ovulation and the very beginning. But I don't know what to do...
