Dr. Sekhon also shares insights from her book The Lucky Egg, offering a realistic but hopeful perspective on fertility, IVF, and the importance of meeting patients where they are.This episode is both myth-busting and empowering—designed to help you better understand your body, your options, and how to navigate fertility information with clarity and confidence.Dr. Sekhon's social media: @Lucky.SekhonDr. Fran's social media: @PagingDrFran
