2016 - 2017, Successful
Every appointment with her [Dr. Christine Hemphill] is beyond throrough. She is the perfect mix of encouraging and realistic. For my husband and me personally, the factor of her faith and the faith-based clinic is a huge plus. She was the first person to identify the serious irregularity of my hormones.... I just had my first diagnostic procedure with her last week and have a second one schedule 2 1/2 weeks from now to remove scar tissue and endometriosis, which she feels was the reason for my failed pregnancy.
The center [Gianna Center of the Gulf South] she practices under uses the "Creighton Model" charting system. The require three months of charting prior to your first visit with them. My chart was reviewed at my first visit and we were told based on that information that I likely had low progesterone. They ordered countless labs after that and also timed labs in my cycle which showed just that, along with extremely high levels of estrogen. I have been on timed supplementation of both progesterone and estrogen ever since

Every appointment with her is beyond throrough. She is the perfect mix of encouraging and realistic. For my husband and me personally, the factor of her faith and the faith-based clinic is a huge plus. She was the first person to identify the serious irregularity of my hormones. I actually got pregnant once under her care but very early on we realized it would not be a viable pregnancy. I just had my first diagnostic procedure with her last week and have a second one schedule 2 1/2 weeks from now to remove scar tissue and endometriosis, which she feels was the reason for my failed pregnancy.

The center she practices under uses the "Creighton Model" charting system. The require three months of charting prior to your first visit with them. My chart was reviewed at my first visit and we were told based on that information that I likely had low progesterone. They ordered countless labs after that and also timed labs in my cycle which showed just that, along with extremely high levels of estrogen. I have been on timed supplementation of both progesterone and estrogen ever since. They also recommended an extensive ultrasound series to rule out a specific ovulatory disorder. Under the times hormone supplementation, I got pregnant for the first time ever, but we found out early on that it would not be a viable pregnancy. I recently had a laparoscopic procedure with her that uncovered stage 2 endometriosis and inflammation in one of my tubes which she strongly believes was the reason for my failed pregnancy. I will have another procedure in 2 1/2 weeks to removie the scar tissue, endometriosis and inflammation. I feel it is also important to note that she is NaPro trained which is a major plus for me.
