What Is a Fertility Doctor or Infertility Specialist? A fertility doctor is a reproductive endocrinologist â a physician who practices a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology called reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). REI is an area of medicine that addresses hormonal functioning as it pertains to reproduction and infertility in both women and men.
In general, you should be referred to a fertility specialist either immediately-or after up to 6-12 months of treatment with the gynecologist. This will also depend on the female partner's age and the cause of the infertility. Many women think they are being treated by a fertility specialist when they are not. 2  You should know whether your doctor is a fellowship trained fertility specialist. 3  If you do not know, ask whether he/she did a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
