Episode notes
Social Media Sparked Her Book
- Lucky Sekhon started social media during her pandemic pregnancy to combat misinformation about vaccines and fertility.
- That presence led to a book deal and her patient-turned-agent becoming pregnant the week she got the book offer.
How To Interpret AMH
- Use AMH to estimate egg count only; it predicts ovarian response to stimulation, not fertility or egg quality.
- Don't panic over low AMH if you're still ovulating; investigate genetic causes in young patients.
PCOS Is Diagnosed By Three Criteria
- PCOS diagnosis uses Rotterdam criteria: two of three—irregular cycles, polycystic ovaries on ultrasound, or hyperandrogenism.
- PCOS is heterogeneous and often underdiagnosed by non-specialists.
