I went to an RE when I couldn't get pregnant on my own, but also becasue I was not getting my periods and I knew soemthing was wrong. He diagnosed me with PCOS and IR. I did get pregnant the second cycle we tried and after he saw the heartbeat they sent me to my regualr OB. So they don't carry you out through your whole pregnancy.

My RE was the best, he still treats me for my IR and PCOS, becasue he is specialized in this area I stay with him. So I have to say unless you are having difficulties with concieving or you are having mentruals problems or so on a regualr OB is fine.
