If you are struggling with infertility, choosing a skilled fertility doctor will give you the best chances of being able to have children. Below, we will take a look at where you can find the best reviewed fertility doctor in the Chicago area, as well as when you should consider visiting a fertility doctor.

‍When to Visit a Fertility Doctor

‍Infertility is defined as not being able to conceive and sustain a pregnancy after one year of regular intercourse. You should visit a fertility doctor if you meet this criteria. You should also consider visiting a doctor if you are over 36 and have been trying to conceive for 6 months, or if you have a history of reproductive problems. A fertility doctor can help you identify the cause of your infertility and the most appropriate course of treatment in your case.‍

How to Choose a Fertility Doctor

‍There are many things to consider when you look for the best reviewed fertility doctor in your area. Some of the most important considerations include:

• Experience - The doctor should have a substantial amount of experience in the field, as doctors hone their judgment and technical skills over time.
• Board certification - Look for a board certified reproductive endocrinologist with a clean disciplinary record. Reproductive endocrinologists are trained in the identification and treatment of male and female infertility, including the use of assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
• Safety measures - Look for a clinic that is dedicated to keeping treatment as safe as possible for patients. Careful monitoring and transferring only 1-2 embryos at a time are associated with a lower risk of side effects. In addition, some medication protocols are associated with a lower risk of side effects than others.
• Use of evidence-based techniques - Your doctor should be up-to-date on the latest findings in the treatment of infertility. Research is constantly pointing to which methods are the most effective, and doctors are continually developing new treatment methods, so it is important to find a clinic that offers the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatment.
• Success rates - Look at the clinic's success rates to get an idea of how they compare to other clinics. However, keep in mind that factors such as working with women with a history of recurrent miscarriage and minimizing the number of embryos transferred can obscure a clinic's true success rates, and there is often not a one-to-one comparison to be made between clinics.
• Bedside manner - The doctor and his staff should have good bedside manner that makes you feel comfortable asking questions.
