Reproductive endocrinologists do not help people balance their hormones!!

For that you need a nutritionist or functional doctor. A RE will just pile more medicines on top of whatever dysfunction exists.

Re's are wonderful. I think them for my children. But know what they do and what they don't.

Do you have any functional doctor recommendations?

An RE can potentially help you get pregnant by forcing your body so to speak, but won't address the actual imbalances.

You have good insurance, no need to settle for Dr Morgan.
RMA- Dr Ryback. RMA is a very reputable Reproductive Endocrinologist. I’d imagine at least 90% of Lakewood uses RMA.
Or call a Rav that specializes in fertility. They can help refer you to the best kind of Dr for your issues. They deal with lots of cases related to fertility and have a ton of knowledge.

2 Rabbanim that I’ve used:

Rabbi Feldman- 732-232-5064
Rabbi Gwertzman- 732-403-6805

That's not necessarily true. I went to rma nj because I felt like I had an issue, and I hadn't conceived after a year. My first appointment found a problem. It took a few years and surgeries to fix the issues (we went 1 step fwd, 2 steps back as issues kept cropping up), but then I conceived naturally. I know others that had the same.

If you needed surgeries to correct it chances are hormonal imbalances weren't your cause.

I used Dr Molinaro. I would suggest going through one of the IF organizations, as they can get you an appointment quicker. (I used a time)

Haven’t been trying long. But my cycles got extremely short and I feel like I need help. I’ve had previous hormone issues that my regular endo handled but he said he can’t help me figure out my reproductive hormones

What qualifies as if?

Medically, if is trying for 12 months without birth control, 6 months if you're over 35.

Practically, if is when you're ready to go and get treatment. If you're open to doing if treatment (Which doesn't mean IVF, but still is a investment of time, effort and money) then you can go to RMA.

Call Atime and ask them what they think. I was having trouble conceiving when my cycles began to get funny. They did send me to RMA. They usually recommend Dr. Molaniro or Dr. Ryback there. They are both excellent and you usually see either of them at monitoring appointments. Conceive opened recently by Dr. Glatstein. He is also excellent, and very experienced after decades in Boston. Maybe his office is quieter if he is newer to Lakewood.
