More and more patients
who are in same-sex relationships,
00:00:08.542 --> 00:00:11.750
whether female-female or male-male,
00:00:12.458 --> 00:00:18.500
they require services from practices
such as Houston Fertility Center.
00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:20.792
We don't judge, and we don't discriminate.
00:00:21.708 --> 00:00:24.750
Women who are in lesbian relationships,
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:31.083
we'll figure out which partner
is the one who is going to get pregnant.
00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:35.667
Though they want to do something
where it's known as reciprocal,
00:00:35.958 --> 00:00:39.958
where it's the eggs from one partner
00:00:40.042 --> 00:00:44.292
goes into the uterus of the other partner
with the donor sperm
00:00:44.375 --> 00:00:45.500
or gentlemen?
00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:48.875
Gentlemen are
in an even more difficult situation.
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.958
They require a surrogate and an egg donor.
00:00:52.792 --> 00:00:58.458
Sometimes a gentleman will use the sperm
from just one spouse or partner.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.583
Sometimes they both
want to father the embryo.
00:01:02.542 --> 00:01:05.667
We will help them
with their fertility evaluation,
00:01:06.292 --> 00:01:08.500
finding a good egg donor,
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:10.917
and with the surrogate process.
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.958
Same-sex couples
should consider Houston Fertility Center
00:01:14.042 --> 00:01:18.417
because we are going to give honest,
non-judgmental,
00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:21.000
complete evaluation and treatment.
