Fertility Myths, Egg Freezing, and The Lucky Egg with Dr. Lucky Sekhon
Dr. Lucky Sekhon watched patients walk into her clinic drowning in misinformation. Double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. Author of the bestselling book The Lucky Egg. And genuinely done with the knowledge gap that keeps women making fertility decisions based on fear instead of facts.
In this episode, we get into all of it.
Age 35 is not the fertility cliff you've been told it is. More than 50% of unintended pregnancies happen during perimenopause — because women assume their inconsistent cycles mean they can't conceive. Men have a biological clock too, and advanced paternal age carries real mutation risks that affect pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia. Vaginismus is physical, not psychological — and Dr. Lucky has the evidence to prove it, even under full sedation. One in four female physicians will struggle with infertility, and it's an independent risk factor beyond delayed childbearing. And ovulation predictor kits? Not as reliable as the marketing suggests.
We also talk about what's missing from most fertility conversations — cultural barriers keeping women of color from seeking care, implicit bias in treatment, the mental health toll on couples navigating this together, and the toolkit Dr. Lucky built specifically for that.
