Let me know if you find one! I live in Queens and have not found a gyno I am happy with. If you ever need a recommendation for a fertility doctor, I am seeing Dr. Rosenfeld at North Shore who is good.

i just started with dr. rebecca fenichel at nyu. i liked my first visit because she took a detailed history and answered a lot of my questions. she said she'll also do a pelvic exam on me next time, so that's nice to be able to have the same doctor do that too. i'm more comfortable with a female endocrinologist, and it took me awhile to find her (the last one was not so good). here's the link to her info:

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
