Yesterday I spoke with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, about fertility, common myths, and misinformation online.
Dr. Sekhon shared her own fertility journey and what inspired her to become a fertility specialist. We also talked about how surprisingly little many of us learn about reproduction and fertility growing up. She explained when someone should consider seeing a fertility specialist and how age factors into that decision.
Because fertility and women’s health have become popular topics on social media, we also spent time talking about the growing amount of misinformation circulating online. We discussed common myths about birth control and infertility, as well as whether lifestyle factors such as diet, supplements, and the environment actually influence fertility.
Finally, Dr. Lucky emphasized the importance of education, protecting your mental health, and building a strong support system when navigating the fertility journey. For many people, having accurate information and emotional support can make all the difference when going through the process.
I learned a lot in this conversation, and I hope you do as well. And if you know someone who might be navigating fertility challenges or could use a little support right now, consider sharing this with them.
