Recommendations for an RE?
Dally101109

Hi ladies,
I had a miscarriage last year, and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant again for the last 7 months without any success. My OB/GYN did some blood work and a sono this month. The blood work came back normal, but the sono showed that I have "kissing ovaries," meaning that my ovaries are basically "stuck together" behind my uterus. My doctor thinks this indicates endometriosis, and suggested a diagnostic scope and an test to make sure my tubes are open.
I really like my doctor, but he's pretty young and infertility isn't really his speciality, so I'm considering doing a consult with an RE before I have the procedures. So, long story short, I'm looking for some recommendations for a good RE in the western part of the metroplex (Denton, Fort Worth, mid-cities). Any suggestions?
Trying to conceive #1 since May 2012:
BFP #1 - 6/30/2012, diagnosed with blighted ovum on 8/14/2012
BFP#2 - 7/9/2013, beta of 4, dx chemical pregnancy
BFP #3 - 8/16/2012, HB of 127, measuring 5w6d at 7 weeks, diagnosed with MMC on 10/3/2013
10/9/2013 - DH dx with balanced translocation (given 25% chance of a healthy natural pregnancy)
10/19/2013 - I was dx as alpha 1 carrier (not a fertility issue)
1/4/2014 - DH dx as alpha 1 carrier (25% chance of a child with alpha 1 antritrypsin deficiency)

Re: Recommendations for an RE?
I met with Dr Kevin Doody for a different reason but I liked him. There are several other drs at this practice, the rest female, you may want to look into. GL!

I have kissing ovaries too. Isn't that just so sweet? lol
My GYN diagnosed me and did the surgery. It started out as a laparoscopy and ended up in a laparotomy since it was such a mess in there. Anyway, I shared that because my RE looked at the surgical report and said my GYN did an amazing job and he was impressed that I have ovarian function at all as bad as it was in there. So, if you want a GYN to do the surgery I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Robert Zwernemann (https://www.doctorzobgyn.com/). I also love my RE and his name is Dr. Robert Kaufmann (https://www.fwivf.com/) and the other dr in his office is amazing too. Her name is Dr. Linda Elkins.
If you have anymore questions, feel free to page me on the Infertility board. Good luck!!
