Reproductive Endocrinologist recommendations in the UK?

Hi All,

Can you recommend an RE that is good in the UK? Preferably South West but doesn't matter if not as can travel or be via video conference.

I am currently referred to a normal endocrinologist but I'm not overly impressed and want to change consultants (private work medical insurance) to an actual specialised RE for infertility. Current consultant reluctantly agreed to refer for a pituitary gland MRI scan even though i was paying privately but said nothing will be there causing the elevated prolactin. Low and behold the scan showed a 4mm microadenoma (benign tumour) on the pit gland.

So I have slightly elevated prolactin and tsh so taking bromocriptine and levothyroxine to rule it out more than anything. Probably caused by tumour and stress. My main problem has been recurrent miscarriage and 2 failed ICSI cycle/3 failed transfers.

Any recommendations gratefully received 🙏

Thanks

xx
