Dr. Lucky Sekhon

I'm doing fertility preservation.

I'm not...

actually worried about my fertility.

I'm coming at this from a place of control.

And when those things happened, I was blindsided.

And I often think to myself, if I was blindsided, being an expert in the know, how do patients feel when they're coming into this thinking, well, look at all these celebrity headlines.

IVF works for everyone.

It's the solution.

And when things don't go according to plan, plus,

They're paying out of pocket.

You know, there's so many things that can make the weight of this just so heavy and so difficult.

It's very easy to burn out.

And if you add on top of that this feeling that you're never doing enough, you need to be living in a bubble, you need to be taking 15 supplements because your friend did and then she had a successful outcome and you're not putting your best foot forward.

It's just there's so much noise and it's so hard.

So my advice is drown out the noise.

If you feel confused, because often people feel overwhelmed and they're like, I just don't know what's going on, even though they're going to see an expert, they still kind of feel lost, don't settle.

Don't settle for I'm seeing the expert and I'm just going to trust them.

You should understand your plan.

You should understand your diagnosis and what your test results mean.

And if you don't feel like you can get those answers, get a second opinion.
