Does Low AMH Mean IVF Is Your Only Option? What They Don’t Tell You

If you’ve been told your AMH is “too low” for your age, or that it means your only chance is IVF with high doses of medication, this episode is for you. AMH is not the final word on your fertility it’s a marker that should spark deeper investigation.

You’ll learn:

• How IVF clinics use AMH to predict drug response and egg retrieval

• What the research actually says about high vs. mild stimulation for women with low AMH

• Why no stimulation protocol can improve egg quality

• The four functional fertility pillars that truly impact outcomes: mitochondria, inflammation, nutrients, and hormones

• A client story of moving beyond repeated IVF cycles to conceive naturally

I’m Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile. For over a decade, my team and I have helped hundreds of couples improve their chances of pregnancy success, whether naturally or through IVF. We specialize in supporting those with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and recurrent pregnancy loss through functional testing and personalized fertility strategies.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You’ve been told your AMH is too low and that aggressive IVF protocols are your only option

• You feel stuck in repeated IVF cycles with only minor protocol changes

• You want to understand how functional fertility strategies can change the environment where eggs are developing
