With @Lucky.Sekhon: The Dangerous Rise of Fertility Misinformation Online

from I Did My Own Research · host Franziska Haydanek

Diminished ovarian reserve can feel deeply personal—and often deeply misunderstood.In this episode, Dr. Fran is joined by reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lucky Sekhon to break down one of the most anxiety-provoking fertility topics online. Together, they unpack why egg count does not equal fertility, and how misinformation—especially around supplements, hormones, and “natural” fertility fixes—can lead patients further from their goals.They dive into the emotional toll of fertility testing, the dangers of unregulated supplements (including how some may actually work against conception), and why nuanced, evidence-based care matters more than ever in the age of social media. 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
