reproductive endocrinologist

Hi to all,

I wonder if anyone has seen a reproductive endocrinologist. I live in Vermont in Melbourne and would love a recommendation.

Cheers,

Kerryn

Hey Kerryn :)

I also wanted to welcome you to BB. I could advise you on a good endocrinologist in Sydney, but not Melbourne sorry.

Thanks for the welcome.

You may still be able to help me, as I was also wondering about the difference between the specialits. Did you also see a gyno?

Cheers,

Kerryn

My hubby went to the endocrinologist and I was booked in to see a gyno. I'm not exactly sure what the endocrinologist does for women sorry.

Hi Kerryn,
I am from Melbourne too and have been seeing a fantastic endocrinologist (who is also a fertility and ivf dr) for 7 years due to PCOS. She is at the Royal womens hospital and her name is Dr Kate Stern. I highly recommend her, based on my own personal experience.

Hi Cat, thanks for the reply. How long does it usually take to get an appointment with her? I have now made an appointment with an endocrinologist, but would not hesitate to see another if I wasnt happy. Also, I have just told my sister (who has more symptoms than I do) that I have pcos, so she might be needing a recommendation too!!

Cheers, Kerryn
