Get Pregnant Naturally

Low AMH? Diminished ovarian reserve or POI? Failed IVF or recurrent loss? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com You've done the stool test. You've worked on your gut, changed your diet and taken the supplements. You've addressed your thyroid, hormones and inflammation. So when someone asks whether anyone has looked deeper into your health, your answer is: I've already done functional medicine. But did your practitioner specialize in low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, POI, recurrent pregnancy loss or failed IVF? And did they connect what they found to your fertility history, IVF response, and the health of both partners? Doing functional medicine and having a complex fertility case investigated aren't necessarily the same thing. In this episode: Why general functional medicine may miss patterns that matter in low AMH, DOR, POI, recurrent loss and failed IVF Why more testing and more supplements aren't necessarily the answer What may still be worth investigating, including inflammation, autoimmune and thyroid patterns, the nervous system, gut health and vaginal microbiome Why his side matters beyond a normal semen analysis, including sperm DNA fragmentation How your IVF history, embryo development and recurrent losses become part of the investigation What to ask about the work you've already done before another IVF cycle You're not starting over. You're figuring out what hasn't been connected yet. CHAPTERS 00:00 I've already done functional medicine 02:10 General functional medicine versus complex fertility cases 03:40 High achieving, hypervigilant and the nervous system 04:30 His side beyond a normal semen analysis 10:50 Your fertility history, IVF response and recurrent loss FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs and testing into our secure portal before the call.

Low AMH? High FSH? Diminished ovarian reserve or POI? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com Your AMH came back low. Your FSH is elevated. You've been told you have diminished ovarian reserve and may not respond well to IVF. And very quickly, that gets translated into: I'm not going to get pregnant. That isn't what AMH was designed to tell you. AMH is useful for helping predict how your ovaries may respond to stimulation and how many eggs may be retrieved during IVF. On its own, it's a poor predictor of whether you'll conceive naturally, and it can't tell you the quality of your eggs. So instead of building your whole plan around raising that number, the better question is what else deserves a look. In this episode: What low AMH can and can't tell you about IVF response, natural conception, and egg quality Why chasing a higher AMH isn't the main goal, even when we do see it move What may be shaping the environment your eggs are developing in, including inflammation, thyroid health, blood sugar, nutrient status, gut and vaginal microbiome, and the nervous system Why your partner's health matters and why a normal semen analysis isn't always the full picture Low AMH is important information. It isn't your entire fertility story. CHAPTERS 00:00 When AMH becomes the explanation for everything 02:00 What AMH can and can't tell you 03:00 Why did this happen? 04:00 The environment your eggs develop in 07:00 His side and what hasn't been investigated FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs and testing into our secure portal. We look at patterns across your fertility history, bloodwork, existing testing, and the health of both partners to identify what may not have been investigated. Whether you're trying naturally, preparing for IVF or deciding what to do after a failed cycle, we'll help you understand what deserves your attention next. Book here   ABOUT THE HOST I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally, a podcast with over one million downloads.

Failed IVF? Low AMH? High FSH? Told donor eggs? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com Your AMH is 0.2 ng/mL. Your FSH is 40. Another IVF cycle has failed, you've experienced another loss, or donor eggs are now on the table. So you research. You ask ChatGPT fifteen versions of what should I do next? and every answer gives you five more things to investigate. You have more fertility information than ever, and you're still terrified of making the wrong decision. Information and certainty are not the same thing. No one can guarantee another IVF cycle, a different protocol, PRP, or donor eggs will work. You don't need to know your decision is going to work. You need to know why you're making it.  In this episode, I walk through when you genuinely need more information after failed IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, low AMH or high FSH, and when research has become the thing keeping you stuck. We look at what has actually been investigated for both partners, including autoimmune history, inflammation, food sensitivity, bloating, skin changes, male bloodwork and sperm DNA fragmentation beyond a semen analysis that came back  And instead of asking what else should I research? I give you a different question: What information would actually change my decision? Whether that's IVF number four, trying again after loss, continuing with your own eggs, or moving to donor eggs. Preparing is not the same as being evaluated. CHAPTERS 00:00 AMH 0.2, FSH 40 and fifteen versions of the same question 01:20 When you do need more information 02:20 What has actually been investigated, for both of you 05:20 What information would change your decision 08:10 Fear about time, fear of choosing wrong, and certainty FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs into the secure portal. We look at your history, your bloodwork, what you've already tried and your current plan, and talk through what has not been investigated and how to work on it alongside your clinic, in parallel. It is not IVF or your health. It is both.

POI? Low AMH? High FSH? Told donor eggs are your only option? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com   She was diagnosed with POI at 37. Her AMH was 0.16, her FSH was hovering around 45, and her ultrasound showed three follicles and at one point, none. Her IUI cycles were cancelled, and she was labeled a poor responder. Then she was told she was not a candidate for IUI or IVF and that donor eggs were her only option. But she wanted to know what else might be going on with her health. In this episode, I walk through our client's POI success story, including her Hashimoto's, inflammation, low vitamin D, B12 and iron, chronic stress, gut and vaginal microbiome, her partner's health, and what happened the month before her planned IVF. After eight months of following the Fab Fertile Method, she became pregnant naturally the month before she was planning to start IVF. This is her story of looking beyond AMH and FSH and asking: what else might have been missed? CHAPTERS 00:00 POI at 37 with an AMH of 0.16 and an FSH of 45 04:00 Told donor eggs were her only option 06:30 Inflammation, nutrients, stress and her gut 20:10 PRP timing and the month before her planned IVF 24:20 Why AMH and FSH alone are not the whole picture FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs into the secure portal.

Failed IVF? Embryos arrested at Day 3? Told it was your egg quality? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next retrieval → fabfertile.com Day three, you got the call that your embryos were developing, and you let yourself feel hopeful. Day five, there is nothing to transfer, and you are told it was your egg quality. Then you read online that embryos stopping after day three could point to sperm. So now you do not know what actually happened, or whether anything is left to investigate before you go again. Your clinic may have had good reasons for saying egg quality. They also cannot test it directly. That makes it a conclusion rather than a finding, and it is usually where the investigation stops. In this episode, what I would want looked at before another retrieval includes the 90 days before stimulation started and his side beyond a semen analysis that came back fine. Preparing is not the same as being evaluated. CHAPTERS 00:00 Day three looked fine. Day five, there was nothing to transfer 01:20 Why egg quality is a conclusion, not a test result 04:00 The 90 days before the retrieval, for both of you 05:30 Blood sugar, the full thyroid picture, inflammation and nutrients 09:30 His side beyond the semen analysis FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs.
