What to Look For When Choosing a Fertility Specialist
It’s pretty common not to know all the differences between a fertility specialist and a regular OB/GYN when you first begin your fertility journey. However, there is an important distinction.
While an OB/GYN can provide guidance on determining your fertile window and timing intercourse, it’s best to see a fertility specialist if you haven’t conceived after a year of trying (six months if you’re over age 35), have conditions that impact your fertility, or want to preserve your fertility. OB/GYNs typically have broad practices, focusing on women’s health and childbirth, while fertility specialists undergo extra training to focus exclusively on patients with infertility or hormonal problems. As a result, fertility specialists have more advanced knowledge and access to more specialized technology to treat infertility issues.
When choosing a fertility specialist, you should always look for specific qualifications and criteria. In addition to a medical degree, this includes completing a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. You should also look at the services offered by the clinic, and read patient testimonials to get an idea of whether a particular fertility specialist is a good fit for you.
