Office Visit / Follow-up

The D&C procedure went well with minimal recovery time, and the post op appointment was quick. I am encouraged that Dr Shepherd is just as eager as we are for me to get pregnant again safely. The PMP was an unfortunate hurdle but I am grateful she was able to diagnose and remove it as early as she did so that we could get back on track to getting pregnant.
