As a Woman

Natural Fertility Q&A: Fertility Testing, AMH, IUDs, and STIs


Listen Later

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your voicemail questions about natural fertility.

Questions Answered:

  1. I have been struggling to get pregnant with second child. My AMH came back at 1.21 and then I got a second AMH done three months later and it came back at .7. What does a drop like this mean?
  2. If someone has had a chlamydia infection, what signs should they look for? Should they automatically get checked for potential complications?
  3. I had an IUD for 10 years. My menstruation has been very light barely saturating a tampon for about 3-4 days. Does this mean my lining is too thin?
  4. I recently had my Paragard IUD. My doctor mentioned I have scarring on my uterus. Could those be related?
  5. What imaging do you recommend for female fertility testing?
