And I'm not afraid to admit it.I have a call in to a fertility counselor my doc recommended whom he knows personally. Dr. G has been great about my care thus far, so I trust his recommendations. I did therapy in college, so I'm well aware of its benefits and I'm way beyond any … Read More »

Results are in.

Jul. 19, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Our Dr called us from his home yesterday. Everything has come in as normal. Low end of normal (21 million), but normal enough. Motility was a bit low, but isn't a big deal if/when we go IVF since a lab will inject sperm directly into the egg. Our dr's only concern is that … Read More »

Still no results yet.I love my practice, I do. I love my doctor. He's a bit gruff with bedside manner and a lil spacey when it comes to technology, but the man knows his shit, and is practically a pioneer for women's reproductive health in the Boston region.However, the admin … Read More »

A(nother) Sad Realization

Jul. 8, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I live at the college campus where I work. My commute consists of exiting my building, walking through the Arts building, and then entering the building where I work. This morning, as I have for the last couple of weeks, I've waded through a herd of 7-10 year old summer music … Read More »
