My journey was a fun experience.
00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:14.125
My wife and I were trying to get pregnant,
so we knew we had to come seek out
00:00:14.875 --> 00:00:16.458
a reproductive endocrinologist.
00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:20.625
I had gone to a different
fertility clinic in Houston,
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:27.437
and saw a different doctor,
and we had a lot of overwhelming bills,
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:29.583
and the experience was just not great.
00:00:30.333 --> 00:00:33.917
It pushed me to look for more
of an LGBT friendly
00:00:34.583 --> 00:00:40.677
doctor that was happy and accepting
couples that were of the LGBT community
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:42.357
because that was very important to me.
00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:45.792
We had a few failed attempts
with Dr. Christensen,
00:00:45.875 --> 00:00:48.125
and then it worked on the third try.
00:00:49.125 --> 00:00:52.458
It's just not giving up,
but we are very happy we found her.
00:00:52.542 --> 00:00:55.637
I felt very supported whenever they were
telling me all of the
00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:56.875
updates and everything.
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.084
I tell everybody about Dr. Christensen.
00:01:00.167 --> 00:01:03.517
Everybody here is willing
to do whatever you want.
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.637
I think that's a really good
thing about coming to Dr. Christensen,
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:10.277
is she's always like, What do you want?
00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:12.833
Because at the end of the day,
it's what you want.
