Reproductive Endocrinologist

A reproductive endocrinologist (RE) is a board-certified physician who has completed additional fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility beyond obstetrics and gynecology, making them the highest-trained fertility specialists available. For women with PCOS seeking pregnancy, a reproductive endocrinologist brings deep expertise in managing PCOS-specific fertility challenges including ovulation induction, monitoring for ovarian hyperstimulation, optimizing IUI and IVF protocols for PCOS patients, and addressing the elevated miscarriage risk associated with the condition. Referral to an RE is typically recommended after unsuccessful attempts with first-line fertility treatments or when a more complex fertility situation requires specialized management.
