The Specialist

After nothing has happened by going to a family doctor or an OB/GYN, the next doctor to visit would be a fertility specialist. These doctors are exactly what they say they are specialists of fertility. They work with both women and men.

Most procedures that require heavy fertility medicine, or that go above the scope of an OBGYN would be completed by a fertility specialist. If you are looking to do intrauterine insemination (IUIs) or In vitro Fertilization, then finding a great fertility doctor is the key!

When looking for a fertility doctor, ask for referrals from friends and also ask to see their success rates. By law these doctors have to publish their IFV success and it is good to review these. Since most insurance companies cover little to know fertility treatments, don’t feel obligated to go to a specific doctor, find the one that will work well for you. You have to be able to connect with not only the doctor but also with the doctors staff. You will probably deal more with the nurses then you will the actual doctor.

Do your research, ask around and don’t be afraid to go somewhere else if you are not happy. It’s your money and your time!
