OBGYN vs Reproductive Endocrinologist

[Guest guest]

What is the difference between the two? Is one better than the other

after having WLS? I'm TTC and I just saw an OBGYN. Wondering if

should see the R.E.

An ObGYN sees you after you are pregnant and the RE usually helps get

you pregnant in the first place (infertility stuff)

addendum: SOME OBGYN's have additional specialty training in other

areas such as infertility and they usually advertise their areas of

specialized training in the phone book or other ads.

My OB had infertility training so I didn't have to go to an RE for my

infertility probs. MY OB handled it. Many people with reproductive

issues (PCOS;infertility etc) see RE's.

so my previous post doesn't mean ALL OB's dont do infertilty; some

have the additional training.

(I know how things get twisted around in these groups sometime! lol)

An R.E. is if you are currently experiencing reproductive problems

(infertility) and they can help you with that. I saw an RE until I got

pregnant and then I went to an OBGYN. The RE I saw prior to surgery was the

one who actually confirmed my pregnancy with my 3 year old and recommended

my OB. If you are having infertility problems (which is normally defined as

not conceiving after TTC for a year unless you have diagnosed problems like

PCOS or low sperm count) then you see an RE and they can help you with IUI,

Clomid and what not.
