Seeking New OBGYN in the Keller Area

I have a very nice OBGYN in the Keller area, but I'm curious to find out what other doctors are available nearby. I'm going through a series of fertility treatments and the treatments with this doctor are pretty standard. I recently read a book about fertility and it said that most doctors treat women as if they ovulate only around day 14 of their cycle even though we can ovulate at very different times than this. My doctor seems to focus just around day 14. I've also heard encouraging information about acupuncture and how it has helped some ladies with their fertility issues, but my current doctor is not open to that and says that I'd be wasting my money. If I didn't have the fertility issues, I'd probably just choose a midwife and be done with it. Does anyone know of a doctor that works with fertility treatments, but is into more natural solutions and really looking at each woman's cycle individually?

What can I do next?

Before looking for a new doctor, maybe you could try tracking your own ovulation. That way, next time you're getting fertility treatments, you could bring in your own chart and say "hey I'm consistently ovulating on day 19; can we shift my treatments to that time?" Now, if he has that information and STILL isn't willing to shift, then I'd definitely say for you to find a new doctor. But if he's willing to adjust your treatment once you have that data, it may be worth it to stick with him, especially if you like him otherwise. I can't say anything one way or the other about acupuncture, since I've never tried it.
Without doing the charting, I would NEVER have know that, even though I have a 28 day cycle, I ovulate on days 19 or 20, NOT day 14. I never had to do fertility treatments, but I can definitely see how they wouldn't work if they're consistently given at the wrong time. Let me know if you have questions on how to determine when you're ovulating. I mean, you COULD spend a bunch of money buying ovulation kits, but it's just as easy (and much cheaper) to simply take your temperature the second you wake up (and before you even get out of bed) every morning.

I know you're looking in Keller, but I have to recommend Dr. Chantilis' office @ Presby in Dallas. He & Dr. Karen Lee are wonderful and will tailor a plan to you - not just do the standard protocol. Their practice is very personalized and they get results! I know several folks that have seen them with success. Fortunately, we were able to get pregnant just after our initial consultation with them (after 1.5 years with another practice).

Here's their info, in case you're interested:

One other thing - if you think you are ovulating earlier than day 14, get an ovulation predictor kit and watch your cycle (temp, cm, etc.). I thought that I was ovulating earlier, but couldn't get my Dr. to even consider it. We got pregnant on our own before day 14. Stick to your guns & good luck!

Have you spoken with any midwives in the area? I know of some who are very knowledgeable about fertility issues and have helped many families conceive with a much more natural approach, taking into consideration your individual circumstances rather than the average 14 day ovulation prediction. Since you said that if you didn't have fertility issues you'd probably go with a midwife, I thought maybe this would be an option that could help you :-) If you'd like contact information, just let me know!

I don't know if he does more natural solutions as I haven't had to see him for that, but I absolutely love Dr. Jonathan Snead on Heritage Trace Parkway. His number is ###-###-####. I know he does fertility treatments.

Good luck!
