Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good reproductive endocrinologist in NYC? Bonus points if it's a woman who takes Oxford insurance.
A little background on me. I'm 36 & have been ttc for over 9 months. I have also been losing my hair rapidly since I went off birth control, though looking back, I guess I've been shedding a lot for a long time, but I always had thick hair & lots of it, so I thought it was part of the territory. It's just now getting to the point where it is visibly thin/receding. (I can see my scalp in the front.) Needless to say, I'm freaking out.
I have some, but not all symptoms of pcos & just had an ultrasound on Monday & was diagnosed with a mild case after my RE found cysts on my ovaries. I have only seen my current RE twice, but I find I feel rushed in our appointments. I don't feel he's compassionate or sensitive to my needs & his treatment plan (clomid & iui) seems to address only the desire for a pg, & not the pcos problems.
I would love to have a child, but I'm not sure I'm willing to go bald to do it.
If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not in a good place right now.
