Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T18:18:07.711380+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/infertile-af-infertility-and-modern-family-building-through-art-206488"},"episode":{"title":"When a Fertility Doctor Does IVF: Dr. Lucky Sekhon, Author of The Lucky Egg","slug":"when-a-fertility-doctor-does-ivf-dr-lucky-sekhon-author-of-the-lucky-egg","published_at":"2026-03-12T23:11:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/infertile-af-infertility-and-modern-family-building-through-art-206488/when-a-fertility-doctor-does-ivf-dr-lucky-sekhon-author-of-the-lucky-egg","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/infertile-af-infertility-and-modern-family-building-through-art-206488","url":"https://www.infertileafgroup.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://audio1.redcircle.com/episodes/1f7be7c5-a8d5-4707-811d-048c4d123ea6/stream.mp3","summary":"Today’s episode is a special one — it’s a replay of Ali's 2023 conversation with Dr. Lucky Sekhon. Lucky is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and OB-GYN at RMA of New York. She’s also one of the most trusted voices on social media and TV when it comes to fertility, IVF, and reproductive health, breaking down complicated topics with clarity, compassion, and actual science. In this conversation, Lucky opens up about her own family-building journey — including how, when it came time to start her family, she chose to create embryos and go through IVF herself. Ali and Lucky talk about what it’s like when the fertility doctor becomes the fertility patient, how that perspective shapes the way she treats her own patients, and why she’s so passionate about helping people understand their reproductive options. Since this interview originally aired, Lucky has also written a fantastic book called The Lucky Egg , which helps people better understand fertility, IVF, and reproductive health. So whether you’re hearing this conversation for the first time or coming back to it, it’s a really thoughtful look at fertility from both sides of the exam table.
