Thinking of switching fertility clinics?

We often get asked how easy it is to move fertility clinics after having treatment elsewhere. The good news is that it’s very simple and not expensive.

Whatever your reasons may be for wanting to changing fertility clinics, at Repromed, we have made the process easy so you can transition to our Auckland clinic in just three simple steps.

Here are some signs it might be time to consider another clinic:

• You don’t feel your concerns are heard
  Communication has become inconsistent
• You’ve undergone several treatment cycles without clear review or adjustment
• You want a clinic that offers more inclusive-care, better transparency or a stronger fit for your family and values
• You’ve changed location or region and need to move clinics accordingly

How to switch fertility clinics: three simple steps

1. Book a consultation with one of our fertility doctors
   We’ll take the time to listen to your concerns about your current clinic and how we can meet your needs.
   We’ll review your medical history, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what your goals are moving forward.
2. Action the switch
   We’ll guide you through the entire process:
   We’ll assist in requesting your medical records, test results, and history from your current clinic.
   If you have eggs, embryos or sperm frozen at another clinic, we’ll manage the transfer logistics and liaise with your previous clinic directly if you wish. Transport and storage arrangements will be clarified.
   We’ll set you up under our care, arrange any additional testing or reassessment, and plan your next steps.
3. Wait for confirmation
   Once records are transferred, we’ll get you fully set up in our system, including photo ID for every clinic visit for peace of mind. Our team will ensure the transition is respectful of your previous care and the precious taonga/treasure you’ve stored (your frozen sperm, eggs, embryos, if applicable). With everything in place, you’ll be ready to move ahead.

What are the costs?

It’s typically not expensive to switch clinics to Repromed – the main costs are the first consultation and any transport of frozen embryos/eggs/sperm. Potentially additional tests and investigations are required, if they haven’t been done recently by your current clinic.

How long does it take to switch fertility clinics?

The time required depends on how quickly your original clinic responds (usually within 20 working days), and the shipping/storage logistics. You (and your partner if applicable) will be required to sign a consent form to release your personal information to us and either your existing clinic or our clinic will be able to provide this to you.

Why consider Repromed?

Here are some reasons to consider Repromed:

• A wide range of fertility specialists to choose from – in fact, we have the most doctors with NZ’s highest fertility qualification in a single clinic (called CREI)
• We aim for a dedicated fertility doctor and team throughout the process to ensure comfort and consistency of your care
• A supportive, inclusive environment where everyone is warmly welcomed
• Communicative and compassionate fertility specialists and staff that keep you in the loop every step of the way
• Full day-stay surgical theatre at our Newmarket, Auckland clinic for all treatments on-site rather than at a different location and care provider
• We use the ‘RI Witness’ programme, an internationally recognised identity verification system designed to make sure that everything in our lab – from egg collection to embryo transfer – is correctly matched to you and only you.

At Repromed, we celebrate inclusivity and are proud to be the first healthcare provider in Aotearoa to receive the Rainbow Tick, back in 2016.
