Pregnantish

Love & Egg Freezing with Bachelor Star & Endometriosis Advocate, Lexi Young, and Fertility Specialist Dr. Valerie Libby


Listen Later

Former Bachelor star, In the Wild Dating founder, and passionate endometriosis advocate Lexi Young joins the Pregnantish Podcast to share her deeply personal journey with fertility, health struggles, and the power of speaking out. Lexi opens up about how endometriosis shaped her relationships—including the end of a long-term partnership—and why she chose to use her platform on The Bachelor to bring awareness to reproductive health challenges.


In this episode, Lexi reflects on the physical and emotional toll of living with endometriosis while filming reality TV, from managing ovarian cysts to dealing with “endo belly” under the scrutiny of cameras. She also discusses her decision to freeze her eggs with the guidance of Dr. Valerie Libby, MD, MPH, FACOG—a double-board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at Shady Grove Fertility in Atlanta. Dr. Libby joins the conversation to break down why fertility awareness is critical, how endometriosis impacts reproductive health, and why a diagnosis doesn’t mean giving up on the dream of parenthood.


This episode is a candid conversation about love, fertility, and the importance of advocating for your health. Tune in to hear more about Lexi's journey and why sharing your story can be a powerful tool in supporting others.
