Request an AppointmentWhat is a fertility specialist?
A fertility specialist is a physician trained in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) — a subspecialty of OB/GYN. These experts have advanced training to diagnose and treat even the most complex fertility challenges for both women and men.
While many general OB/GYNs can handle initial fertility testing, seeing a fertility specialist can open the door to deeper insight, advanced testing, and more targeted treatment options designed just for you.
Common signs it’s time to see a specialist:
Wondering if it’s time to schedule a consultation? If any of the following applies to you, meeting with a fertility specialist is a smart next step:
- You’re under 35 and have been trying to get pregnant for 12 months without success.
- You’re 35 or older and have been trying for 6 months.
- You’re over 40 and want to try or understand your options — it’s a good idea to begin with fertility testing right away.
- You’ve experienced multiple miscarriages.
- You have irregular cycles, known fertility-related conditions (like PCOS or endometriosis), or a history of pelvic surgeries or infections.
- Your partner has a known male fertility issue or has never been evaluated.
Don’t wait if you’ve experienced:
- Feeling frustrated or stuck in your current care — especially if you’re not seeing progress or getting the answers you need
- Failed Clomid or medication cycles with no success after 3-4 tries
- Severe male factor infertility, such as low sperm count or motility
- Prior surgeries, injuries, or diagnoses affecting reproductive health
Why sooner is sometimes better:
Fertility naturally declines as we age — especially egg quality and quantity in women — so timing matters. Early testing and treatment can help you preserve your options and avoid unnecessary delays.
