That is freaking amazing that you work with DH! I actually started out with Dr. V and really wanted to switch to London, but they wouldn't let me... guess they knew then he was getting ready to retire.
I really didn't like Dr. V at first... we had to have a come to Jesus meeting. I told him all of my concerns with his staff and he was sincere in wanting to help us and actually thanked us for staying with him. He's been assuring after the two losses we've had so we plan to stick with him for a while longer.
We've been going there now a little over a yr and I'm hoping we'll be successful soon. If we have another loss, we are going to do genetic testing and go from there.
Wow I never knew anyone else from my area was on here. How do you like Dr. V? How long have you been going there? I wish there was at least another office here to get a second opinion!

I love me some Lafayette! I had two friends graduate from ULM and I was fortunate to spend some time there while they were there. Do you see Dr. Storment? He was one we were considering, if we should seek a second opinion.
::butting in::
I'm from Louisiana as well! I just moved to New Orleans from Northwest La. Just wanted to say hi to some fellow Louisianians!

We lived in New Orleans when I was a child. New Orleans is one of my favorite places! We will be there next Monday for the BCS Championship. I'm in desperate need of some Cafe Du Monde in my life! Haha
Look at all of these LA ladies! My bff lives in Laffy so I've visited a few times.
Mmmm...Cafe Du Monde beignets with a tall glass of milk sounds pretty delicious! You're going to the LSU/Bama game?? I'm soooo jealous!! Geaux Tigers!!

LUCKY DOG!!! It's gonna be awesome! Good to know about Dr. Storment... hopefully I don't have to switch, but you never know.
I'm from S'Port/Bossier area too!
I grew up in both Shreveport and Ruston. I miss Shreveport so much but I'm glad to be here in New Orleans. My family is still up there though.
Bethany have fun at the LSU game! The city is going to be full of fans!
Both of my brothers went to school at ULL so I've visited Lafayette a few times and love it!
