A Really Good Cry Dr. Lucky Sekhon on What Every Woman Should Know About Fertility in Her 20s and 30s
In a world where we’re told to “wait until you’re ready,” what does that really mean for your body?
Are we empowering women with information about fertility — or overwhelming them with fear?
And how do you hold hope when the journey to pregnancy feels uncertain, unpredictable, or painfully slow?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with fertility specialist and author of The Lucky Egg, Dr. Lucky Sekhon, for an honest, empowering conversation about modern fertility, egg health, PCOS, endometriosis, IVF, and everything in between.
Dr. Sekhon breaks down what’s actually happening in our bodies — from ovulation and insulin resistance to inflammation and the biological clock — in a way that feels informative, not intimidating. She explains why regular periods matter, why lifestyle is important (but not something to weaponize against yourself), and how science has dramatically improved IVF success rates over the years. Together, they explore the emotional toll of trying to conceive, the frustration of conflicting advice, and why fertility isn’t just about statistics — it’s also about resilience, timing, and sometimes, a little bit of luck.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- When women should realistically start thinking about fertility — and why education shouldn’t start in crisis
- The real connection between insulin resistance, PCOS, and ovulation
- Why painful periods should never be normalized and what that could signal
- How endometriosis affects fertility — and why it often goes undiagnosed
- The truth about egg freezing and what it can (and can’t) protect you from
- What lifestyle habits actually move the needle (and which trends are overrated)
- How GLP-1 medications are unexpectedly changing fertility journeys
- Why regular movement, strength training, and sleep matter more than perfection
- The difference between forcing control and staying resilient in uncertainty
- Why you only need one healthy egg — and why that truth gives so many women hope
This episode is a reminder that fertility isn’t a moral measure of your worth. It’s biology, timing, health, and sometimes sheer unpredictability. Whether you’re actively trying, planning for the future, freezing your eggs, or simply wanting to understand your body better — this conversation gives you clarity without panic, and hope without false promises.
