This book demanded to be written.

The Lucky Egg is the roadmap I wish existed when I started my own journey. It’s part science, part patient memoir, and all heart. It’s about reclaiming agency in a world that too often leaves people confused, dismissed, and bombarded with misinformation.

  • I wrote this for everyone who’s gone through cycle after cycle—stim shots, ultrasounds, retrievals—only to come up empty-handed, wondering how much more they can take, and still choosing to try again.
  • I wrote this for the ones still bleeding, still grieving, still trying to make sense of their pregnancy loss.
  • I wrote this for the perfectionists, the planners, the Type-A “I-did-everything-right” women who feel blindsided.
  • I wrote this for the ones on the bathroom floor, holding a negative test and holding their breath.
  • I wrote this for the people who want a family, however that looks, and deserve better support navigating how to get there.

This book was written for you.
