Show Notes
T/W This week we cover loss, miscarriage and positive results. This week we sat down with the incredible Dr. Lucky Sekhon, who is fast becoming one of the most prominent voices in the world of IVF. In the lead up to the launch of her book “The Lucky Egg” we discuss what made her want to publish. We discuss knowledge gaps in the world of fertility and IVF. We get into some mythbusting of supplements, how we are only scratching the surface on the level of attention given to patient and Doctor’s mental health in this field and some of the things to look for when choosing a clinic for your treatment. Dr. Lucky has made it her life’s work to give patients all of the tools needed before approaching infertility treatment and her book is perhaps the first of it’s kind - a comprehensive and accessible manual for all things fertility.
