New to LIFamilies and could really use the support!
I am 35 (almost 36). After 14 years of taking the pill, I stopped taking it in Dec 2011. My husband & I have been ttc since then. I have only had my period 4 times (46-48 day cycles) and now no period for 3 months. I have been doing acupuncture since April and spent a fortune peeing on ovulation sticks and I am certainly not ovulating. My last pelvic ultrasound showed a left polycystic ovary and an "area of fluid" which my gyn thinks may be a blockage of the fallopian tube. I was referred to see a RE. Any experience with Dr. Palter or Dr. Zapantis?

i don't have any experience with either of those doctors, however, seeing a RE is definately a step in the right direction! a RE can help you in many ways that an OB ever will. Lots of luck ahead!

Dr. Zapantis is AMAZING. I love him so, so much. He now has his own practice. He isn't at ECF/LIIVF anymore. Good luck!

Re: New to LIFamilies and could really use the support!
Any chance your OB is in Woodbury? My previous OB who was in Woodbury recommended those 2 REs. I then went on to see Dr. Palter. I did several iuis and one ivf with him. If you have any specific questions let me know.....

Wishing you the Best! I don't have Exp. with any of those Drs. I wanted to use Dr. Zapantis but he doesn't take my Insurance. So I am going to be using Rsofny.
Good Luck with everything! You have a wonderful support team here on LIF!!

Re: New to LIFamilies and could really use the support!
Welcome! FM if you'd like to know about Dr. Zapantis- I saw him years ago at ECF and I"m glad he opened his own practice. I'd look for current patients of his now.

Re: New to LIFamilies and could really use the support!
I thought it was Dr. Eysler:). He was my Gyn 4 years ago when i started my journey and those were the 2 REs he recommended at that time. In my experience, since Eysler is a single practitioner, he likes to reommend other single practitioners as well. After spending a litle over a year with dr. Palter i switched to north shore and now have a 9m dd. good luck!

Re: New to LIFamilies and could really use the support!
I had my first appt with the RE today- I saw Dr. Palter @ Gold Coast IVF and he was wonderful. He took time to review my medical records and spent 45 minutes with me discussing my options. The staff was great too! I was a little nervous because of some of the reviews I had read about him but he was great and I feel comfortable that he will figure out what is causing my infertility and help me get pregnant! Thank you to all the girls who welcomed me to this board- you are like a little family! It's very sweet :)
