OB vs RE?

LMKH · 10-22-2009, 10:03 AM

I did not get pregnant while with the RE. I did injections and such. In the end, I got pregnant on Femara that my OB prescribed. But I did go on to a different RE who also had me do an HCG shot and sonograms of my follicle and release.

I had my baby about 2 months ago. I am older so cannot wait forever to have another. We plan to start TTC again when this baby is 6 months old. I am thinking of just going to the RE so that I have the option to switch OBs once pregnant. I want a natural birth and my OB does not really do this.

If you are "advanced age" there is no question that I would go to an RE if you can afford it or have coverage! I believe you get pregnant the fastest with them. At least that has been my experiance.

My insurance does cover it. Part of my issue with the OB is there is a personal relationship with a couple people in her office and I do not like them knowing all my business. Silly, I know. They are nice people. I just prefer to not have it out there.
