Fertility Center Testimonial

WEBVTT 00:00:05.167 --> 00:00:10.208 We had four attempts until we had our son. 00:00:11.167 --> 00:00:14.000 Unfortunately, we did experience a miscarriage as well, 00:00:14.083 --> 00:00:16.542 and it was confirmed here in the office. 00:00:17.792 --> 00:00:20.958 I think in that moment, Mayra was holding my hand. 00:00:21.042 --> 00:00:24.332 She was just really there next to us, 00:00:24.415 --> 00:00:25.958 Dr. Kristiansen as well. 00:00:26.375 --> 00:00:30.042 We stayed probably 30 minutes just in the room, just emotional 00:00:30.125 --> 00:00:32.417 and processing the news. 00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.458 So I think just allowing us to experience it, 00:00:35.542 --> 00:00:37.458 letting us know it'll be okay, 00:00:37.583 --> 00:00:39.811 embracing the emotions that come with it, 00:00:40.011 --> 00:00:42.980 and being there to support and hold our hands through it. 00:00:44.583 --> 00:00:48.375 I think it was a phone call or so. 00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:51.917 I think Mayra called, and she said, "Mikayla?" 00:00:52.292 --> 00:00:53.667 All of a sudden we were like, "Yes?" 00:00:54.667 --> 00:00:55.680 I think so. 00:00:56.708 --> 00:00:58.517 I think she said, "Mikayla, you're pregnant." 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.125 Yeah, she did, and it was just... 00:01:01.583 --> 00:01:04.875 Honestly, it was not really believable because it had been so many attempts, 00:01:04.958 --> 00:01:07.917 and it had been so many of the opposite phone calls. 00:01:08.333 --> 00:01:09.583 I was like, "Mayra, are you serious?" 00:01:10.792 --> 00:01:12.708 It was just joy. It was like relief. 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:16.708 You can call whenever. They will check in on you. 00:01:16.792 --> 00:01:19.833 You can email back and forth, and also just the, "Come on in." 00:01:20.625 --> 00:01:23.583 If you feel, "I don't want you to feel that way, come on in. 00:01:23.667 --> 00:01:24.917 Let's check. Let's check you out." 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.042 Absolutely. 00:01:26.333 --> 00:01:28.792 When we first came and talked to Dr. Kristiansen, 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.042 it felt like very inclusive. 00:01:31.125 --> 00:01:34.333 It felt like she was clear on, "Here are all the options that you have. 00:01:34.417 --> 00:01:36.583 Here's what it would take to start a family. 00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:39.000 It'll happen. You just have to be patient." 00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:42.542 For us, it felt like it never would. 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.042 And then for our second child, it was immediate. 00:01:45.667 --> 00:01:50.042 It took two years for the first, and then the first try for the second. 00:01:50.708 --> 00:01:55.958 I think you just have to be patient and let it happen.
