Hi Izelle

I can really recommend Dr Dawie Slabbert at Panorama Medi Clinic. He is a gynae and fertility specialist, and afaik the only one in the Northern Suburbs. I've been with him for almost a year now and he's been absolutely great. He did my laparoscopy a while ago and now our first IUI.

Seeing that you are a bit pressed for time, I would really go directly to a fertility specialist and not a normal gynae, since that felt like wasted time for me.

Have a look around the other topics and join us. There's "Gesels saam op die pad na Swangerskap" which are mostly Afrikaans ladies (and a bit quiet atm) and also "Trying for a 2016 baby" which is quite active.

Hope you have some good news soon. :)

Hi Izelle

I am not 100% sure of a doctor who specializes in ladies over 40 but I am seeing a wonderful Gynae at Louis Leipoldt named Dr. Schwarts 021 949 7850 who has helped my sister conceive and delivered her two babies and now he is helping me.

I am turning 37 and been ttc #1 for the past year. I have seen Dr Schwartz for the first time last month and currently on my first cycle of Fertomid.

How long have you been ttc?

* TTC baby #1 for 1.5 years
(tried naturally for 1 year - anovulatory cycles)
(medicated Fertomid cycles for 5 months)
BFP - 1 Sept 2015 - un medicated cycle
TTC baby #2 - October 2017
BFP - 3 January 2018

TTC baby #3 in 2021

Hi everyone, my husband and I are trying to conceive however I am 40 years of age and we are struggling somewhat. Naturally the sooner the better etc

Does anyone on this forum know of a good and trusted gynecologist that specializes in pregnancies for women 40 years of age and older. Preferably in the Durbanville area.

Dr. Lizette White no longer practices in Durbanville but only in Stellenbosch which is too far out.

I would appreciate any feedback in this regard.

Kind regards

Izelle
