Black patients and Reproductive Endocrinology / Fertility
Black fertility specialists (REI): IVF, IUI, fibroids, PCOS, loss. Black women face twice the infertility rate but half the treatment access.
Black women are twice as likely to experience infertility as white women but are half as likely to seek or receive fertility treatment (ASRM, 2022). When Black women do pursue IVF, live-birth rates are lower, partly driven by untreated fibroids, delayed diagnosis of PCOS, and higher preterm birth rates. Reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) specialists are OB-GYNs with fellowship training in fertility, IVF, and reproductive hormone disorders.
What REI specialists treat
- Infertility evaluation and IVF
- PCOS
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Fibroids affecting fertility
- Endometriosis and fertility preservation
- Fertility preservation for cancer patients
