Kia ora koutou,
Good news – at Covid-19 Alert Level 2, we’re pleased to confirm that ALL treatments and services will resume at Repromed.
In order for us to operate safely at Alert Level 2, some of the processes and precautions from Level 3 will remain. We will do our best to minimise the impact of these extra precautions on your treatment.

Kia ora koutou,
Great news – for Repromed, Alert Level 3 means we will be resuming most fertility assessment and treatments. However, it will not be business as usual, as there will be changes within our clinic to ensure safety for everyone. We want to make the right decisions now so we can move back to full service as soon as it is safe to do so.
During the lockdown we’re committed to continuing consultations with our doctors via phone and skype. We are currently offering 50% off initial consultations for new clients.
To book please email and mention the new client half price offer.
Helen Nicholson, our lovely Counsellor was featured in the NZ Herald recently with some support for our community.

For everyone whose fertility treatment plan is impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions, you’ll want to know about this webinar on Wednesday night. It’s run by a panel of Fertility NZ board advisors, including our laboratory manager, Lana Hawkey.
The NZ Institute of Wellbeing & Resilience have kindly allowed us to share this overview of practical strategies for coping with the impact of COVID-19 in our lives. It is not specifically fertility related, but our counselling team felt that the tips in here were helpful and relevant. Click here to open the PDF.
Kia Ora all,
We wanted to provide an update, further to the information provided yesterday about how COVID-19 is impacting us all (you can see the previous communication on our website page here).
Every client that is currently booked for treatment at Repromed has now been contacted by our nursing team to discuss next steps and associated refunds. We are sorry for those of you that had to learn this news via email due to poor phone coverage after the government announcement yesterday, but we wanted to get in touch as soon as possible.
Kia ora everyone,
No doubt you are aware of the announcement this afternoon by the Prime Minister of the Covid-19 alert change to Level 3 this afternoon and Level 4 Wednesday evening. This is uncharted territory for us all and I know this will be a very stressful time for our clients, especially where there are concerns about delays. I can update you on our response to the escalation in the plan to combat this global pandemic.
Kia Ora,
I wanted to get in touch to let you know about the actions we’re taking at Repromed to look after you, your loved ones and our own team, during the COVID‑19 (Coronavirus) pandemic .
Due to the recent COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus) outbreak we are taking precautions around client appointments and treatment, and we may ask a few extra questions as we book treatments and consultations.
As the safety of our clients and staff is number one priority, we will be postponing tomorrow’s event. We will be rescheduling, so please watch this space! Thank you for your understanding.
Time: 6pm – 8pm
Venue: Repromed Clinic, 105 Remuera Rd.
Date: Wednesday 18th March, 2020
Register: Email Helen at Repromed to register, as numbers will be limited.
We know that going through fertility uncertainty and treatment can be a difficult and emotionally challenging time. This free seminar will provide you with valuable resilience skills to support you through the highs and lows of the fertility journey.
Learn the skills to:
✓ Respond to anxiety and stress with self-kindness
✓ Motivate yourself through kindness rather than self-criticism
✓ Handle difficult situations and emotions with greater ease
✓ Create a greater personal sense of peace
The recent outbreak of measles is continuing with an increase of cases in Auckland. The Ministry of Health recommends that people born between 1969 and 1990 have an MMR booster as they probably only received one MMR vaccination instead of two when they were children. Measles symptoms include a respiratory-type of illness with dry cough, runny nose and headache. Temperatures can be over 38.5C and people feel very unwell. A red blotchy rash starts on day four to five, usually on the face before moving to the chest and arms. The time between exposure and the first symptoms is about 10 days. People are considered infectious from about five days before to five days after rash onset.
Should information about the optimal fertility age be taught at school? Our Medical Director Guy Gudex strongly believes so. Read his recent article that featured in Stuff.co.nz to find out more.
Repromed Medical Director Dr Guy Gudex talks to Stuff about how the current rules have created a dilemma for people with unexplained infertility who started trying to get pregnant in their late 30’s.
