You Shouldn’t Have to Struggle First: Taking Control of Your Fertility with Dr. Roohi Jeelani
About this episode
Dr. Roohi Jeelani discusses her journey and insights on fertility care, emphasizing proactive approaches for women.
Fertility care often begins only after something goes wrong-but Dr. Roohi Jeelani believes women deserve answers long before they’re forced to struggle. In this episode, Dr. Roohi shares her deeply personal journey from being diagnosed with PCOS at 14 to becoming a fertility specialist, navigating infertility herself, and building the kind of patient-centered practice she once needed. We discuss why the fertility care system can feel so reactive, when women should seek testing, the truth about “unexplained infertility”, and how to protect your peace throughout the process. Dr. Roohi also opens up about motherhood, building Onto Health, leaning on her village, and accepting that you won’t be the perfect mom, doctor, and CEO all on the same day. Whether you’re trying to conceive, thinking about your future, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is a reminder that you shouldn’t have to struggle first to start taking control of your fertility.
