Episode notes

If you're over 35 with low AMH and have experienced a failed IVF cycle or been told IVF is your only option, this episode is for you. AMH provides information, but it does not tell the full story about your ability to get pregnant. In this episode, we break down what actually predicts pregnancy success when AMH is low and why focusing only on numbers often leads to frustration and stalled progress.

You'll learn:

What AMH truly represents and why it reflects ovarian reserve, not egg capability
Why IVF often fails for women with low AMH despite "normal" standard lab results
The difference between producing many eggs versus developing one high-quality egg
How inflammation, digestion, immune activation, and mineral depletion affect egg development
Why mitochondrial health is essential for egg quality and embryo development
How stress physiology and circadian rhythm disruption impact ovulation, progesterone, and implantation
The four underlying patterns we consistently see improve before pregnancy occurs, regardless of AMH

Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, her team has helped hundreds of couples improve their chances of pregnancy success naturally and with IVF.
