To explore the relationship between initial clinician type (generalist versus subspecialist) seen by infertile women, type of treatment received, and time to pregnancy. In a retrospective cohort design, we analyzed mixed-mode questionnaire data from 867 women with primary infertility enrolled through population- and fertility clinic-based sampling. We compared women presenting first to generalist providers with women presenting first to fertility subspecialists, with the main outcomes of receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF), time to pregnancy, and live birth. The first point of contact for most (84%) women with infertility was a generalist provider. Only 8% of women sought care first from a fertility subspecialist, and these women were more likely to be older and have been trying to conceive longer before seeking care. Women who presented first to a generalist provider were less likely to receive IVF (aOR 0.48, 95% CI 0.28, 0.82), were equally likely to achieve pregnancy, and had similar times to pregnancy (aHR 1.11, 95% CI 0.80, 1.53) compared to women who presented first to a subspecialist. Generalist providers are frequently the first point of care for women with difficulty conceiving and are uniquely positioned to promote a balanced management of infertility.
