Dr Ben is an exceptional doctor, and I count my blessings every single day that we met him. As a female in my early 30's who had been on the contraceptive pill for over 15 years, I came off the pill 7 months prior to seeing Dr Ben to start to try and conceive. Unfortunately, like many women, after stopping the contraceptive pill I had a whole host of unpleasant symptoms including body aches, no periods, low moods, hormonal breakouts and greasy skin/hair - I genuinely thought I was going through early menopause, I felt that unwell. My intuition was strong, and I felt that something wasn't quite right with my body and it wasn't just a case of "letting it settle" after coming off the contraceptive pill. I wasted six month of my time not being taken seriously by another doctor at a very famous private fertility/maternity hospital before I was very fortunate enough to make the decision to get a second opinion. I found Dr Ben online and after reading his exceptional reviews, I felt that I had nothing to lose, and my husband and I booked an appointment in June 2025.
From the moment I met Dr Ben, he took all of my symptoms seriously and immediately started a plan which not only involved monitoring my cycles (to find out why I wasn't getting a period) but also focused on a holistic approach too - supplements, stress, sleep, exercise and general well-being. After progressing through a monitored cycle and various blood tests, Dr Ben agreed with my intuition that something wasn't right as my lining was continuously measuring under 3-4mm (even at points in my cycle when it should be much thicker). Within 6 weeks of my initial meeting with Dr Ben, I was booked in for an investigative hysteroscopy which showed that I had adhesions covering most of my uterus which prevented my lining from shedding and had stopped my period all together. The surgery to remove the adhesions was carried out during the investigative procedure and afterwards, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. My period returned a few weeks after the surgery (after being missing for nearly 8 months). Thankfully during this period, I wasn't trying to conceive - if I had been, it would be very unlikely that I would have been able to carry a baby due to the lining not being thick enough for the baby to stick.
6 weeks after my procedure, we conceived naturally, and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. Throughout the early pregnancy Dr Ben was on hand to answer all of our questions and provided a huge amount of support/reassurance. He was genuinely delighted when we got pregnant too – which was so lovely.
If you are reading this review just now and are on the fence about booking in with Dr Ben - please just do it! It's genuinely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. If we hadn't met Dr Ben, it might have been years before anyone took us seriously and decided to investigate my gynae/fertility issues – I fully suspect we would have had to go through IVF without the proper investigations being done, particularly as I didn't fit the "typical" criteria for having such bad adhesions. I count my blessings every day that we have a baby on the way, and this would not have been possible without Dr Ben.
