- September 19, 2007: Began praying for a miracle!
- December 27, 2007: My previous gynocologist had referred me to the RE based on tests. I picked out a random gynocological office out of the yellow pages. After careful consideration, I decided to seek a 3rd opinion. Dr. R (aka Dr. Wonderful) agreed to work me in as a consultation appointment.
