Baby Steps: Unpacking The Biggest Fertility Myths Ft. Dr. Lucky Sekhon

On this week’s Baby Steps, presented by BetterHelp, Jordana is joined by her own fertility doctor, reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist Dr. Lucky Sekhon. They talk about the value of sharing your own experience, and why it’s so powerful for celebrities like Jennifer Aniston to discuss their infertility treatments. Dr. Lucky tells us why and how the egg freezing process has changed over time, where the technology has improved, and why it’s important to look into your healthcare options. They also share the biggest scams and myths to avoid when you’re doing research about your own fertility. Do you really need to avoid scented laundry detergent when you’re trying to get pregnant, or is that simply a misconception? Plus, they tell us what you should be asking on your first consultation with a fertility specialist, how to find the right doctor for you, and the secret to avoiding emotional burnout.
