Repromed - Why Repromed

There are many reasons why you should choose Repromed when looking for a fertility clinic to help you achieve your dream of having a family. As one of the country’s leading fertility clinics delivering excellence in our standard of care, innovation and pregnancy success rates, we understand that sometimes the miracle of life needs a little help.

We Understand

At Repromed we understand that falling pregnant is not always simple and that sometimes the miracle of life needs a little help. With today’s busy lifestyles, many couples carefully plan the timing of when to start a family and for most, a pregnancy occurs naturally within around 12 months of trying to fall pregnant. For up to 20 percent of couples however a pregnancy does not occur or they miscarry. At Repromed we understand that infertility can be an emotional and overwhelming journey, and will do everything we can to minimise your stress during this time. We pride ourselves on a ‘small team care’ philosophy which ensures a dedicated group of expert staff are there to support you through your journey.

Range of Services Offered

We offer the most extensive and proven range of fertility services to our patients. So while we specialise in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), we also offer treatments such as Ovulation Induction (OI), Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI), Ovulation Tracking, Donor Program, surgical management of infertility (eg. sperm recovery) and Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening.

Repromed’s Proud Local Team

Repromed Darwin is a proud local team providing local care. With a world-class lab based right here in Darwin, Repromed has been providing local care for over 25 years. Our highly qualified team of doctors, nurses and scientists are all proud Territorians as well, which means you do not have to travel outside of the Territory for your fertility treatment.

Personalised Service

We understand that infertility can be an emotional and overwhelming journey, and will do everything we can to minimise your stress during this time. We pride ourselves on practising a ‘small team care’ philosophy to ensure a dedicated group of expert staff support you through your journey – and will ensure that you are fully informed of treatment processes, the likelihood of success, as well as possible risks.

SMS reminders, email communication and access to our unique online Patient Portal, keeps you in touch during your busy day and also helps to maintain confidentiality when at work or in a public place.

Our Laboratory

Repromed has the most comprehensive testing services in the Northern Territory. When undertaking IVF in NT, we are the only fertility clinic in the territory with the ability to test the genetic normality of an embryo before returning it to the female. Repromed also has the ability to test the DNA integrity of sperm in-house.

Expert Team

Our team of Medical Doctors are highly engaged in research both locally, nationally and internationally. Our highly trained scientific staff provide access to market-leading science and techniques.

Our team of Medical Doctors and Scientists are leaders in their fields who regularly share their experience and expertise with other professionals around the world. Repromed has the most active and one of the most successful research and development programs in South Australia. Contributions made to the industry about fertility causes and treatments have had very real positive impacts for our patients such as:

Development of embryo glue culture media, giving you a higher chance of a successful pregnancy outcome.
Development of the male fertility pill ‘Menevit’ to assist in the creation of healthy sperm.
Development of 4etabolomics testing of embryos to assist our laboratory team in selecting the highest quality embryos for transfer.
Development of the Egg Timer Ovarian Reserve Test (AMH) in 2004, which is now widely used by many IVF clinics in Australia.
World-leading research into the impact of lifestyle issues on fertility.

Repromed Safety Net

General Enquiries

How do I make an appointment at Repromed?

Just fill in the form below or call us on 08 8333 8111 and you can speak to one of our Patient Coordinators to make an appointment. Our Patient Coordinators are trained Fertility Nurses who will be able to answer some of your questions and help you make an appointment with a Doctor at a time that suits you. We are usually able to make an appointment within two weeks of your initial enquiry.

Do I need a referral to be seen at Repromed?

Yes, you will need a referral to see the Doctors at Repromed. If you have a partner both names will need to be on the referral (or you will need separate referrals for both of you) to be eligible for the Medicare Rebate.

My GP has done some tests already. Will these need to be repeated?

Please bring a copy of any of your test results to your first appointment. Some tests may need to be done at certain times of your cycle and may need to be repeated or updated but we aim not to repeat tests unnecessarily.

My local Doctor says I should try naturally for longer but I am really worried we may not be able to have a family. What should I do?

It is recommended that you seek fertility assistance if you have been trying to get pregnant for 12 months or more and you are under 35 years old. If you are 35 years or older you may wish to seek assistance after trying for 6 months or even less if you 40 years or older. If you have specific concerns about your fertility such as recurrent miscarriages, a history of endometriosis, irregular cycles or chlamydia/pelvic inflammatory disease, or if your mother went through early menopause you may wish to seek advice earlier than the guidelines suggested above.

I am uncomfortable with male Doctors doing private examinations. Do I have a choice of Doctors at Repromed?

All Doctors at Repromed are very experienced in women’s health and will try to ensure your comfort at all times. All private examinations are chaperoned by nursing staff to allow for your maximal care, comfort and attention. We have many female Doctors at Repromed and we will aim to meet your requests at all times if possible. Religious and cultural expectations are respected as a priority.

I am not sure I want to get pregnant right now but I am concerned about leaving it too late. How do I know if I will be able to have children?

One of the Doctors at Repromed will be happy to see you for a Fertility Assessment. Our Reproductive Health clinicians will be happy to discuss your options such as having an Ovarian Reserve Assessment which can give an idea about whether you have a normal number of eggs remaining in your ovaries for your age. Factors affecting your own fertility or fertility preservation options can also be discussed at that appointment.

My partner has had a vasectomy. What can be done to help us have a child together?

At Repromed we help many couples where the male has had a vasectomy in the past. Sperm can usually be obtained by needle aspiration and then can be used in an IVF cycle with very successful results. The sperm aspiration can be done under local or general anaesthetic.

I am a single woman. What options are there for me to have a baby?

In South Australia single women can access fertility treatment. A referral from your GP to see one of our Repromed Doctors for a Fertility Assessment should be your first step to see how best Repromed can help you with your dreams of having a baby. At Repromed, we have a well-established donor sperm program that involves full medical and psychological screening of our donors and aims to best meet the needs of all parties involved. Other options such as egg freezing or other forms of fertility preservation can also be discussed.
