IMO, a Reproductive Endocrinologist is better than an OBGYN. This is because they are specifically trained to handle infertility.

Basically, an RE is just an OB just on a "higher level". OBs usually just see a few cases of infertility a year as opposed to an RE that see lots of cases. Therefore, they are better at handling infertility since this is their speciality.

REs are definately the best choice. But in towns where there are no REs perhaps a reputable OB/GYN is also the best person for the job.

I live two hours away from an RE and commute everytime I need consultation or treatment. It can be a hassle. Thankfully there's the railway to make commute easier and less stressful.

We were diagnosed as infertile by a GYN but get treatment from a licensed RE. I say licensed because there were a few people at the clinic that got duped by a fake one.

My first doctor was a GYN who told me about my infertility. I got second opinion from an RE. and a third opinion from an RE.

RE. They are better qualified than an OB or a Gynecologist. They are more expensive but your chances are better with them compared to an OB/GYN that only sees a couple of cases of infertility per year.

Go to a reputable RE directly. the OB will refer to one anyway.

RE. Obs are for pregnant women while REs are especially for those trying to get pregnant. Its a specialty.

infertility issues was discovered by an Ob-Gyn and I was referred to an RE. While Ob-gyns are familiar with the problem, I think REs have more experience.

thanks! We are now with an RE and even though we live in a small city we have one right here. And I do agree that since infertility is their specialty then they would be the best people to consult with this kind of problem.
