Low AMH and Failed IVF: Why Didn't You Respond to Stimulation?

Low AMH? Diminished ovarian reserve or POI? Failed IVF or told donor eggs are your only option? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com

You have low AMH or diminished ovarian reserve. You've gone through IVF stimulation, but only one or two follicles developed. Maybe your cycle was canceled before egg retrieval.

Now you're wondering whether mini IVF, lower medication doses, or a different protocol could give you a better response.

But you're also frustrated. You've already invested time, money, and hope into IVF, and you still don't understand why your ovaries aren't responding.

What if changing your IVF protocol isn't the only thing worth investigating?

In this episode, we explore why poor ovarian response deserves a closer look at your overall health and how a functional fertility approach can work alongside your fertility clinic.

In this episode:

• Why low AMH and diminished ovarian reserve can make IVF stimulation challenging

• What to consider when only one or two follicles develop, or your IVF cycle is canceled

• Why mini IVF, lower medication doses or a different stimulation protocol may be worth discussing with your fertility specialist

• How thyroid function, nutrient deficiencies and blood sugar regulation fit into your fertility assessment

• Why digestion, inflammation, sleep and chronic stress deserve attention

• Why the male partner's health matters, even when the focus has been on your ovarian response

• How to investigate your health while continuing to explore IVF treatment options

You may decide to try another IVF protocol. Or you may need time to consider other fertility options.

You don't have to put IVF on hold to investigate your health. Both can happen in parallel.

The goal is to make your next decision with more clarity and fewer unanswered questions.
