Dr. Shabani Ahluwalia on Fertility, IVF, Unexplained Infertility & Women’s Health

In Episode Five of May She Reign, Farida sits down with Dr. Shabani Ahluwalia, a gynecologist who focuses on fertility medicine, for a candid conversation about fertility, infertility, IVF, and the parts of women’s health that are still not talked about openly enough. They get into the numbers behind fertility, including how likely pregnancy is in any given month, why so many infertility cases remain unexplained, the role male infertility plays, and what IVF success rates can actually look like. Shabani also talks about the emotional side of fertility treatment, why small wins matter, and how even difficult moments can sometimes give doctors valuable information about what is happening in the body. The conversation goes beyond fertility statistics and into the questions people often do not think to ask until they are already navigating the process themselves. A practical, honest conversation about fertility, women’s health, and understanding our bodies a little better. May She Reign is hosted by Farida Raafat, founder of DALYA NYC.
