Zarah just wanted to let you know that I got a reply to that e-mail I sent to the Tygerberg Fertility Unit - it looks like it's from Prof Kruger himself!! :rock:
He didn't give much info, just said that we need a referral letter, so I replied again and asked for more information.

But at least we now know that they still exist!! :woohoo: :woohoo: Not that you'll need them though ;)

That will be such great news! My gynae told me Vincent Palotti is the closest. I tried calling the number I found on google, but it was just ringing... Keep me posted.

I am praying, believing that this is the month I get a BFP. I am only making my appointment if AF arrives... but I believe this month its staying far away :silly:

Thanks Carmen. I've really been trying to keep the faith and believe that it will happen for me, but it's difficult sometimes.

Zarah, I really hope this isn't true!! :ohmy: I'm sure one of the threads I was reading was from January this year. I've sent them an e-mail, but I'll try and phone as well and see.

Hi Andy

As far as I know, they dont exist anymore?
I have a referral to Vincent Palotti next month.

Let me know if they are still there because its much closer to me.

Thanks

Andy - I'm not familiar with the fertiliy clini at Tygerberg Hosp -
But I'm certian it will be topnotch-
SA primary health care is still very good.

Good luck -
I believe is positive affirmation - and I know will get your BFP and you will hold your bundle of joy. think it, believe it and it will be.
When I started doubting and friend of mine kept reprimanding me for my negative thoughts.

Hi Ladies

I've been doing some research on fertility specialists/departments at Government Hospitals and come across quite a few posts (on other forums) about it.

Does anybody on Moomie have any experience or information about the Tygerberg Reproductive Biology Unit at Tygerberg Hospital? I know Prof Kruger from Aevitas at Vincent Palotti works here as well.

Any info would help. I really need to get to a fs now I think. It's way past due, but I can't afford to go private at the present moment.

Thanks girls!!
