Trying to understand fertility today can feel overwhelming, confusing, and loaded with guilt. 

Especially if you’re in your 30s or 40s and constantly hearing conflicting advice about “the biological clock,” egg quality, and what you should or shouldn’t be doing right now.

Many women are left blaming themselves, chasing supplements, or relying on social media myths instead of clear medical guidance.

This is exactly why Tamsen sat down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and author of ‘The Lucky Egg.’

Dr. Sekhon has spent years treating patients and studying fertility from the inside and her work challenges many of the outdated narratives that still dominate conversations about getting pregnant, aging, and reproductive health.

In this episode, she explains what actually matters when it comes to fertility, what doesn’t, and why so much of what women are told creates unnecessary stress, shame, and misinformation.

They discuss:

- What the biological clock really means (and what it doesn’t)

- The difference between egg quantity and egg quality

- Why fertility is never entirely within your control (and why that’s important to understand)

- When to start thinking about fertility, even if you’re not ready to try

- How perimenopause, age, and reproductive health intersect

- What lifestyle changes actually help and which ones are overhyped

- The truth about supplements, egg freezing, and fertility preservation

- Why fertility struggles are never just “a woman’s issue”

This conversation cuts through fear-based messaging and replaces it with grounded, science-backed clarity.

Instead of telling women to do more, stress less, or “optimize everything,” Dr. Sekhon offers a more realistic, compassionate framework for understanding fertility, one that centers knowledge, choice, and mental health.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, thinking about your future options, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode will help you separate facts from myths and focus on what truly matters.
