Low AMH? Why You Can Still Get Pregnant (Doctors Won’t Tell You This)


Listen Later

Told it’s impossible? Let’s change that.

In this episode, I break down what your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels really mean for your fertility — and why a low AMH is not the final word on your chances of getting pregnant.

➡️ What you'll learn in this episode:

✅ What AMH actually measures (and what it doesn’t)

✅ The surprising role of AMH as a “dam” in your ovarian function

✅ Why are many women being misled by this one number

✅ The difference between egg quantity vs. quality

✅ Natural, research-backed strategies to support your fertility — even with low AMH

💡 If you’ve been told your AMH is too low or that IVF is your only option, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • AMH is not a fertility death sentence.
  • Many doctors misinterpret AMH as a stand-alone marker.
  • Egg quality and holistic health matter just as much — sometimes more.
  • There are proactive, science-backed steps you can take.
