I'd self refer too. Having been with Fert Associates and Repromed, I'd recommend Repromed over FA. Repromed are a much smaller team, but much more personable, have individualised care (at FA it felt a lot like a production line 'she has this, so we'll do 'x'', without looking at the individual variables -> after a year of treatment with FA which was not working I recommended a course of action to my doctor, which ultimately resulted in the conception of my daughter), and economical - which may well be a factor as there is no public funding available for second children unless you have been trying for five years. Best of luck.]]> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:52:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787703&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787703 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787617&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787617 Author: _Lou_

Mumma2be, I would go straight to a fertility specialist if I were you. I went through an OB/GYN for a year, and am now with Fertility Associates. My OB/GYN was good, but they aren't totally focused on fertility like Fertility Associates or Fertility Plus. My OB/GYN also had me on medication and didn't do a lot of monitoring, but Fertility Associates do, so a few differences in the treatment. Yours may be different. You can self-refer to a fertility specialist, just give them a call. There's usually a few weeks wait for your first appointment. Good luck ]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:39:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787617&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787610&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787610 Author: Mumma2be

Hi Mumma2be,
Personally I would self refer to an obgyn, or if you are in a main centre to Fertility Specialists or similar. I think the more anxious you are the higher up the chain you should start (or so to speak). I hope you get some answers whatever you decide and that your BFP quickly follows.

If you post your location/area. Someone might be able to recommend someone to you.

Best wishes,

Maju]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:03:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787606&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787606 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41727&PID=5787594&title=fertility-testing-etc-where-to-start#5787594 Author: Mumma2be
