Get Pregnant Naturally

If you’ve been told your AMH is “too low” for your age, or that it means your chances of conceiving are slim, this episode is for you. AMH is not the final word on your fertility, it’s a marker that can give us valuable clues about your health. You’ll learn: What AMH levels typically look like across different ages. Why low AMH deserves closer attention. Which additional labs give a fuller picture beyond AMH alone. How women in our Fab Fertile community have conceived with their own eggs even with AMH as low as 0.02 ng/mL. 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 donor eggs are your only option. You’ve had failed IVF cycles and want to understand if AMH is playing a role. You want to learn how to interpret AMH through a functional fertility lens, not just a conventional numbers-only approach. Not sure where to start?

Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF. But through a functional fertility lens, we can uncover hidden factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone imbalances that may support ovarian function and improve pregnancy success. In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, Fab Fertile founder Sarah Clark explains how functional fertility strategies can help reverse POI and improve your chances of conceiving with your own eggs. You’ll also hear Amanda’s story: she was told she’d never conceive naturally with an AMH of 0.08 ng/mL, yet went on to have her daughter. This episode is for you if: You’ve been told your only option with POI, low AMH, or high FSH is donor eggs You’ve experienced recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles You want evidence-based strategies to improve egg quality and fertility outcomes naturally We’ll cover the difference between genetic and idiopathic POI, why functional fertility shines in unexplained cases, and the top mistakes people make with a POI diagnosis. You’ll leave with practical steps you can take right now to support ovarian function.

If you’ve been trying to conceive with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or poor egg quality and nothing seems to be working… or if you’ve experienced failed IVF cycles or unexplained pregnancy loss - this episode is for you. We’re diving into one of the most overlooked infections that could be silently impacting your fertility: Ureaplasma. This commonly missed microbe can compromise egg quality, disrupt implantation, and contribute to early miscarriage, even when labs appear “normal.” Whether you’re TTC naturally or preparing for an IVF or FET cycle, you’ll learn: How Ureaplasma affects egg and embryo quality, implantation, and ovarian reserve Why this infection is often missed on standard fertility workups The importance of partner testing and treating both partners When and how to test for Ureaplasma The functional fertility approach we use at Fab Fertile to rebalance the vaginal and seminal microbiome for optimal conception If you’ve done “all the things” and still aren’t seeing results, this episode may reveal a missing piece of your fertility puzzle. This episode is for you if: You’re struggling to conceive naturally despite doing “all the right things.” You’ve had failed IVF transfers, poor egg quality, or low ovarian reserve without clear answers. You’ve experienced recurrent infections or unexplained pregnancy losses. 5 Key Points: Why Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma are often missed in standard fertility testing and why they matter for egg quality, implantation and pregnancy maintenance. How Ureaplasma can contribute to low AMH, high FSH, and diminished ovarian reserve by increasing inflammation in the reproductive tract and altering the vaginal microbiome. The link between Ureaplasma and recurrent miscarriage, failed IVF, and abnormal embryos, even when other tests are “normal”. The functional fertility approach to addressing Ureaplasma with targeted antimicrobials, vaginal microbiome restoration, and gut health support for natural and assisted conception. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Intro: Ureaplasma’s hidden role in fertility struggles,  natural conception, failed IVF, low AMH, DOR, poor egg quality, and unexplained pregnancy loss. [00:01:00] Who this episode is for: Fertility challenges including low AMH, high FSH, DOR, RPL, recurrent infections, and unexplained infertility. [00:02:00] What is ureaplasma? Impact on vaginal and seminal microbiome, egg and sperm quality, inflammation, and implantation failure. [00:03:00] Who should get tested? Those with unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, persistent infections, elevated CRP/ANA, poor IVF outcomes, or partner infection history. [00:04:00] Why microbiome testing matters: Gut, vaginal, and seminal microbiome panels uncover hidden infections missed by conventional testing.

Researchers found it didn’t affect fertilization or embryo quality but was linked to lower pregnancy rates after embryo transfer. The culprit? Infection in the endometrial lining which can disrupt implantation. So even if embryos look good Ureaplasma can still sabotage IVF success. https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article-abstract/6/5/727/609246?redirectedFrom=fulltext This study looked at whether Ureaplasma urealyticum in men’s semen affects IVF. The results? Fertilization and pregnancy rates were the same for infected and uninfected men. But here’s the thing, miscarriage rates were much higher in couples where the male partner had the infection. So Ureaplasma might not stop you from getting pregnant but it can increase the risk of losing the pregnancy. https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(98)00472-5/fulltext Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH  --- 💛 Join my free Facebook group: Get Pregnant Naturally With Low AMH and/or High FSH: https://www.facebook.com/groups/451444518397946 ---  Please note we only promote products that Sarah Clark or her Fab Fertile team has tried and believes are beneficial for someone who is TTC.

If you’re dealing with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or poor egg quality, and you’re constantly “doing everything” to address it, this episode dives into how chronic stress, perfectionism, and high-achiever tendencies can silently sabotage fertility from a functional perspective. Do you feel like you’re doing all the things, but still not seeing results? We’ll explore how the drive to always do more (even with the best intentions) can quietly mess with egg quality, throw off your hormone balance, and overstimulate your nervous system, especially if rest feels like failure. We’ll connect the dots between: High-functioning burnout and low progesterone  Overworking and poor ovarian response  Chronic cortisol and mitochondrial damage to eggs  Sleep, blood sugar, gut health and why they matter more than any other supplement You’ll also learn: Functional labs to assess nervous system depletion Lifestyle shifts to repair your fertility foundation Why doing less is sometimes the most powerful fertility strategy Whether you’re in IVF cycles, preparing for egg retrieval or diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency, this is the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed. Tune in and learn how to go from hustle to hormone balance, so your body can finally feel safe to conceive. This episode is for you if: You’ve experienced failed egg retrievals or embryo transfers and are trying all the protocols, supplements, or strategies you can find. You’re working long hours (50+ per week) and struggling to balance career demands with your fertility journey. You feel like your worth is tied to your fertility outcomes or the number of “wins” you achieve, making it hard to slow down or rest, even when you’re exhausted. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Hyper Achiever Mindset & Fertility: Impact on Egg Quality & IVF Success [00:02:00] Stress & Hormone Imbalance: Progesterone, Thyroid & Fertility Hormones [00:05:00] Overwork, Cortisol & Inflammation: Effects on Low AMH and Egg Quality [00:07:00] Chronic Stress Impact on Ovulation, Mitochondria & IVF Outcomes [00:09:00] Autoimmune, Sleep Hygiene & Fertility: Stress Effects on AMH & Embryo Health [00:11:00] Nervous System Reset: Stress Relief Techniques to Boost Fertility [00:14:00] Nutrition & Supplements for Egg Quality: CoQ10, Magnesium & Detox [00:16:00] Fertility Mindset & Connection: Rest, Self-Compassion & Pregnancy Success --- RESOURCES 📩 Get your free 10-day elimination diet plan!

We’re diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you’ve been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you’ve had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what’s often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You’ll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We’ll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you’re trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You’ve experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes. You’re looking for practical lifestyle, testing, and healing strategies to improve future pregnancy outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Introduction: Late term pregnancy loss overview, compassion, and what to expect in this episode [00:02:30] Functional fertility testing for late term loss thrombophilia panel, immune markers, inflammation, and infections [00:06:00] Stress hormones, nervous system support, and comprehensive blood chemistry for improving pregnancy outcomes [00:09:00] Blood sugar, insulin, and comprehensive thyroid testing in pregnancy loss [00:12:00] Genetic testing, including MTHFR mutations and the importance of body healing before conception [00:14:30] Role of gut health, infections, and estrogen metabolism in pregnancy loss --- RESOURCES 📩 Get your free 10-day elimination diet plan!

We’re diving deep into thrombophilia panel and why this matters for miscarriage or implantation failure You’ve been told it’s “just bad luck” after another miscarriage or another IVF round with perfect embryos that didn’t implant. But what if your body is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we uncover the critical role of thrombophilia an often-overlooked clotting issue in recurrent pregnancy loss and failed implantation. We’ll walk through what should be included in a full thrombophilia panel, what research reveals about its connection to miscarriage, and how a functional approach digs deeper into inflammation, methylation, estrogen balance, and more. This episode is for you if: You've experienced miscarriage or implantation failure and wonder if a clotting issue like thrombophilia could be the missing link. Your bloodwork is “normal,” but you suspect inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or hormone imbalances are being overlooked. You’re preparing for IVF or trying to conceive naturally and want a proactive, functional approach to reduce clotting risk and support implantation. In this episode you'll learn: The link between thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage, implantation failure, and pregnancy complications like preeclampsia What’s included in a complete thrombophilia panel and which tests are often overlooked in conventional fertility care How inflammation markers like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and fibrinogen affect fertility and clotting risk The role of MTHFR mutations, poor methylation, and high estrogen in increasing clotting and miscarriage risk How a functional approach addresses clotting risk through gut health, hormone balance, and personalized nutrient support --- RESOURCES 📩 Get your free 10-day elimination diet plan!

We’re diving deep into hypervigilance, how this so-called superpower might actually be standing in the way of your fertility success. If you can’t stop researching, tracking, and worrying, this episode is for you. We’re talking about hypervigilance being on high alert all the time and how it’s interfering with your fertility. From disrupted hormone signaling to suppressed ovulation and declining egg quality, chronic stress changes how your body works at a fundamental level. Hypervigilance shows up as: Over-researching and second-guessing every decision Micromanaging protocols or switching supplements often Feeling like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough This state may feel productive but it’s keeping your nervous system in survival mode. And when your body thinks it’s in danger, it prioritizes protection over reproduction. Fertility isn’t just about what you eat or which supplements you take, it’s also about how your body feels. And the truth is: your reproductive system needs calm to function optimally. Tune in to find out how stress affects egg quality and what to do next on your path to pregnancy. This episode is for you if: Constantly feel like you have to be “on” or in control of your fertility journey - researching, tracking, planning every detail.
