Synopsis

Comprehensive, compassionate, and refreshingly clear, The Lucky Egg is the fertility guide we've all been waiting for! This program is read by the author.

"An accessible and reassuring manual for navigating fertility treatment...Sekhon expertly balances urging early planning so readers can keep their options open with a calming, empowering tone." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A common-sense guide to getting pregnant...Dr. Lucky skillfully mixes medical information with patients' stories and her own." —Booklist (starred review)

Imagine if your best friend also happened to be a top reproductive endocrinologist—the kind who could break down the complexities of conception with warmth, humor, and real-world insight. In The Lucky Egg, Dr. Lucky Sekhon is that brilliant friend, ready to guide you through every stage of the fertility journey, whether it’s straightforward or deeply complex.

From understanding what your AMH level really means to navigating egg freezing, IVF, or embryo genetic testing, Dr. Lucky blends expert medical knowledge with relatable patient stories to demystify the process. Her guidance meets you exactly where you are—whether you're just starting to track ovulation, facing a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, exploring the use of donor eggs or sperm, or have been through multiple rounds of treatment with no clear path forward.

One in six people struggle with infertility, yet open, informed conversations are still rare. For many, the journey to parenthood is isolating, overwhelming, and full of medical jargon. For LGBTQ+ individuals, the barriers can be even greater—layered with legal and political hurdles that make an already emotional process feel even more fraught.

The Lucky Egg is here to change that. With evidence-based, accessible explanations and a voice that feels like a trusted ally, Dr. Lucky empowers readers with the knowledge they need to make confident decisions. Her goal is simple but profound: to replace confusion and fear with clarity, comfort, and hope.

With unwavering optimism and the bedside manner you've been longing for, The Lucky Egg is your compassionate guide to planning for and building the family of your dreams.
